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.

A QR code created from the actual fault text would be super helpful. That way we can scan it and get the full error message (details and all) on another device without having to snap a picture or something. But not like windows does it, where it's a link to a defunct page. I'm taking about the actual text transcoded into a QR code.
And windows shows it for a few seconds, never enough time to pick the phone.
You have to disable auto reboot on bsod
This should be the default option when the blue screen happened, giving users chance to scan the QR and find out about the causes before they can try restarting their PC
Most users don't want to immediately troubleshoot every error, they want to get back to work. The ones that do know how to find it in event viewer or the crash dumps or disable auto reboot on bsod.
