'The systemd-bsod component is currently listed as "experimental" and "subject to change." But the functionality is simple: any logged error message that reaches the LOG_EMERG level will be displayed full-screen to allow people to take a photo or write it down. Phoronix reports that, as with BSODs in modern Windows, the Linux version will also generate a QR code to make it easier to look up information on your phone.'

Trouble is, systemd-bsod doesn’t work in crashes that render user-space inoperable. So what would be better? How about building the BSOD functionality into the kernel? Yes, it exists, and it’s called DRM_Panic. <https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/linuxs-true-bsod-equivalent-drm-panic-is-now-supported-by-the-current-amd-gpus>
