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.

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.

And windows shows it for a few seconds, never enough time to pick the phone.
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
I believe the main contributor for drm_panic wants to add one eventually. Here's what it might look like:

Also it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (with white on black default).
Ah man, I was hoping I'd be rickrolled
This looks EXACTLY as I imagined!
Reminds me of my Windows XP days when I used to customise the hell out of everything I could... custom boot screen... and yes custom BSOD. Which I switched to red 🟥❗ One day my PC RSODs in front of a family member and he said, "Oh shit, that must be really bad if it's red instead of blue!" 😂
VMware went with Purple for their hypervisors so you get a PSOD instead. Always was fun when you’d hit the console for a server and get greeted by that instead of the yellow and black split screen.
It is not informative yet, but I like that it's blue. It's a quite recognizable color. Windows made it recognizable by having a lot of BSODs. People are asking why it couldn't be just black, but with non-black BSOD one can recognize it instantly without reading the text.
Just for reference, a few years back, (ex-Microsoft) David Plummer had this historical dive into the (MIPS) origin of the blue color, and how Windows is not blue anymore: https://youtu.be/KgqJJECQQH0?t=780
What's DRM in this context? Surely linux kernel doesn't do digital rights management?
Direct Rendering Manager. Part of Linux kernel to communicate with GPUs.
Direct Rendering Manager
DRM came before DRM
Actually there is DRM in the kernel thanks to the HDMI blobs.
Fuck HDMI. The committee makes doing custom hardware near impossible unless you're a mega corp
It was made by Hollywood for Hollywood.
