A usecase that comes to mind is the general secondary school exams here in Finland. The exam is digital and done in a purpose-made OS, booted from usb-sticks. So every time a new version comes out, every school has to update their hundreds of sticks. Something like this is already used, but seeing as the exam authority already recommends Etcher software I can see this having a market.

Any links to a technical breakdown of such an OS? I'm particularly interested in the boot process and whether it's designed to run on non-x86 devices.
