This is such a pointless feature. I have several daily driver Linux systems. They run for months at a time, sometimes years. The only time I see a kernel panic is if the hardware is bad or I did something wrong (misconfiguration).

Years ago I had a dual boot system with bad RAM and on Windows it would regularly blue screen, on Linux it was fine. Took a long time to figure out what the actual problem was because Linux is just so rock solid.

And no, I don't use any systemd based distros on my daily drivers.

Not everyone runs Linux systems like a Sys Admin. Some folks use it to play games on their steamdeck or to give live to older hardware that can’t run windows/osx anymore. Others don’t even care what they’re running as long as it can open chrome.

BSOD is very clearly an end user feature for folks who don’t have experience debugging kernel panics. If the QR code can generate a copy passable stack trace of the error the it could help make linux more mainstream and easier to debug for non technical folks.

Bad hardware exists though. And if hardware goes bad you're already in a stressful situation and probably don't want any extra work to fix it.
