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.

PSoD is already used by VMware ESXi. And Windows Insider builds, I think.

Maybe green?

Maybe a customizable setting? Black screen with red border and a looping kittens video?

Piss Screen of Death?

edit: oh nvm, I mistakenly thought this was in reply to the suggestion for dark yellow.

Maybe it can be the "brown screen of death". To indicate that it shit itself.
