Isn't a crash screen the last place you should your branding?

No, you confess and repent.

How about something useful like a QR code with some crash data instead?

Logs? Fuck that! Here's a big tux for you to enjoy scream at. Truly genius idea to associate tux with failure.

It's going to be quite rare.. and I do like that we have better visual warning to users that something went wrong instead of a wall of colorless text.

Hi, I have a blue screen

OK, what's the error?

Dunno, it's just blue

Even with a QR code, it would be better to be able to take a picture of the logs to see what happened all the way until the kernel panic.

The Windows error screen is almost never useful. Maybe Linux could aspire to that standard!
