DRM = Direct Rendering Manager, in case anyone else was thinking Digital Rights Management…
Yea we need to say it all the time.
On the one hand, that is cool as fuck.
Unfortunately though, I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been using Linux for 16 years and never experienced a panic screen, so I probably won’t get to see Tux :/
Delete /etc to make your system faster. /s Also, obligatory warning to NEVER DO THIS for anyone new to Linux.
Yeah ‘etc’ of course stands for ‘et cetera’ which implies that’s all just a bunch of extra shit, right?
What does it stand for?
etcetera lol
Would this even cause a kernel panic? I think this just causes a userland “panic”
Idk, you’re probably right.
maybe on some public displays,
but those surely wont update to such a new kernel for a long time
Hell yeah now Linux and I both will panic in style
Last time I saw kernel panic I was on 2.6. I don’t think I’ll ever see him. :(
It’s also been decades since I saw one. I think only people that tinker with kernel code get to see it nowadays.
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)

Let’s make a patch that does animations too for good measure 🤣
