    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?

        Would this even cause a kernel panic? I think this just causes a userland “panic”

        For destructive commands I much prefer find / -type f -exec mv {} /blackhole \;

    I have seen a kernel panic once, when I was failing to set up a raspberry pi (the SD card installer was corrupted).

    So while this is super cool, I honestly don’t think I’ll ever see it

    Last time I saw kernel panic I was on 2.6. I don’t think I’ll ever see him. :(

      You can install beta NVIDIA drivers with Optimus on A laptop and you’ll be able to see the fat Tux!

      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.

        Linux is monolithic so it breaks when a kernel module fails. It can sometimes recover but sometimes the system is in such a bad state a panic is triggered to protect against further issues.

        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)

        Begs the question what’s the point in all of this? In 20 or so years of using Linux (usually maintaining multiple systems at once) I’ve had a kernel panic maybe about 4 times for different reasons, and on those occasions the console debug info was fine. I don’t really understand the excitement around making error messages look more like Windows. It can’t be around being more newbie friendly since if you’re having kernel panics you probably need to be an expert or have expert advice anyway.

          I guess it will make developers who develop the kernel and its components go “hehe fat penguin anyway let’s continue debugging this mess”

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.
