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.

It doesn't have a QR code in it's current state AFAIK, but I believe the guy wants to add one eventually. Here's what it might look like:
Also from the commits it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (white on black default), and that exclamation Tux is already there.
Nah, that only handles boot errors, not kernel panics.
Ah thanks for the clarification, that’s pretty neat, I’ll update my comment
Well the QR code part hasn't even been submitted to the maintainers yet AFAIK, so there's still time to change, and I'm sure it'll be configurable so you either get a stack trace or a QR code.
