point of sale software and hardware that work with Linux?
With hardware I mean any: printers, scales, cash drawers, barcode scanners, card readers or all in one package as in the picture, that work with Linux.
No because pos vendors are literally Jews

Just get a cheap Win XP computer with no internet connection.

Barcode scanners are just input devices.
Printers can be written to like a file, the cash draws usually plug into them so you trigger the release by character

Why are you interested in it?

that's what we did, we have 5 computers with xp and 2 with linux, only the ones with linux have internet connection. But even with this security measures 3 windows computers got infected with a virus, it wasn't all that destructive, was kinda like the recycler virus. But still, nobody wants virus on the computers that pay your bills. We got rid of the virus but after that I wanted to base the business on linux only, as after 9 years it hasn't crash (well, only once because of a hard drive failure), or got with viruses.

So far I've tested our usb barcode reader and it works just fine with ubuntu 16.04. Do you think the cash drawer and the printer will work too with any POS software for linux?

Wasn't microsoft releasing a new lite version of XP which was built purely for PoS solutions?
I can't remember it for the life of me beyond possibly being called XP embedded or something.
>>59135467
the majority of POS and other shit like this use Windows Embedded

I've not used any POS software, but just dicking around sending bytes to the printer has worked fine so far so I'd assume so.

Well I'm not sure for all the parts but for the printers if you know the protocol in which to communicate with it then I think you can use any thing (linux, windows, embedded system...).
Also I if you want to use ICC or Contactless cards you will need a POS terminal to read the cards in (I think there are no ICC readers bulid in a register). You might connect a ICC reader to a computer but I think every one would be scared to use his card if it dosen't look profesional.
Verifone is preparing to deploy linux based POS terminal like in
