    A QR code created from the actual fault text would be super helpful. That way we can scan it and get the full error message (details and all) on another device without having to snap a picture or something. But not like windows does it, where it’s a link to a defunct page. I’m taking about the actual text transcoded into a QR code.

      I believe the main contributor for drm_panic wants to add one eventually. Here’s what it might look like:

      Link if you can’t scan

      Also it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (with white on black default).

        This looks EXACTLY as I imagined!

      And windows shows it for a few seconds, never enough time to pick the phone.

        Agreed. Probably the only One of the good thing about the win98 BSOD is that it crashed/froze along with the computer, and the PC required a hard reboot. Yeah, I know, not intentional, but it allowed me to fully read the message.

        Edit: crossout

        You have to disable auto reboot on bsod

          This should be the default option when the blue screen happened, giving users chance to scan the QR and find out about the causes before they can try restarting their PC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
