shouldn't there at least be a Fail-Safe mode that looks cool
That needs a working kernel. Maybe Linux can be made to fallback to a cool frambuffer image if things aren't too broken, but with windows good luck.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.
Storage is the weakest point.
But if you use redundant PXE, hmm 🤔
Not really luck needed, Microsoft just needs to add it. The Windows 11 BSOD is much less ugly and more user friendly. I think this is the one that systemd-bsod intends to approximate eventually.
I'm genuinely more curious about the bent screens than the bsod
I'm guessing it's a (macro) LED display. Since they're placed and soldered by hand, doing it on a curve is possible.
BSOD wrapped around a twisted pillar like that reminds me of System Shock for some reason.
System Shock 3 is finally coming out! It's just real life this time though.
Public Blue Screens Of Death
Public displays and digital infrastructure software failing to do their job because of blue screens, crashes or other problems
