    The Verge[^]:

    It might not be the year of the Linux desktop yet, but Linux distributions will soon have their own Blue Screen of Death message.

      I knew it was not a good idea to bring linux so close to windows... :rolleyes: :-D

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        So what is the command line to make it a 'chartreuse' screen of death? And that command better have at least five esoteric switches. Bonus points if some of them directly affect everyday things in the OS.

            As long as the QR code is white on blue, I'm happy. (Lots of people are not aware that white on blue is shown in numerous practical tests to provide the highest level of readability. IBM didn't chose it at random, but for a very good reason. Black on yellow competes with white on blue, and a few tests show it to be better, but they are very close. So black on yellow traffic signs is not randomly chosen, either.)
