    This is making me realize that I have never encountered this equivalent of a blue screen of death on Linux.

      It’s very new. Previously the system would just drop to a console with a message saying “Kernel panic: not syncing: [reason]” and a whole bunch of debug info.

      But still, on a well-maintained system, that pretty much never happens. Mainly because Linux is significantly more resilient to faults in device drivers than Windows.

        even on a less well-maintained system it’s probably not going to be the kernel having a freakout, the kernel is going to be just fine while something else shits itself (probably graphics drivers on a desktop tbh, my vega 10 loves to vomit onto the screen and pass out)

      ive seen it a few times on those screens that buses here have, that shows the next stations on the route.

      but never on any of my computers

      (im refering to those old ‘kernel panic’ messages)
