What a sensational, over blown article. ArsTechnica this is shitty journalism and you should know it.
The headline would be about as correct if it said “SystemD update will bring Amiga’s Guru Meditation screen to Linux.”
This update has nothing to do with Windows. Error displays with additional information about the crash is not exclusive to windows, nor new. In fact a Kernel Panic screen happened in Unix.
The majority of linux articles have me checking the comments first to see if someone talks about ridiculous click bait crap, honestly saved me a lot of time.
I suppose that’s the main problem, I didn’t check the article since the title reeks clickbaity enough. However I wouldn’t share an article if the the title obviously is a clickbait, I’m sure there are bunch of respectable sources about this development.
As people have said in some of the many, many other threads on this subject, if they really wanted to copy someone else's style of full-screen error message they'd have done much better to go with "Guru Meditation"
At first I was like WTF but actually it makes sense. A screen showing an error code is much better than a hard reset, blinking cursor, kernel panic, or just black screen you usually get when something bad happens on linux.
