     @arstechnica At least they could make it the brown screen of death, the rainbow screen of death, but NOT blue, FFS…

     @arstechnica good luck getting one to show up. Maybe try sawing a large corner off your motherboard while the system is running, the kernel devs probably didn't think of that.

     @arstechnica as interesting as it is, I'd rather opt not to see one of them in the wild not because a BSOS sucks but a system crash does.

     @arstechnica huge improvement to the computer simply freezing and having no other indication or signal that something has gone wrong.

     @arstechnica Admittedly didn't read the article, but if the headline is at all accurate this gets a huge eye roll from me, along with the phrase "of course the systemd monolith would want that".
