In this context DRM stands for Direct Rendering Manager.

It has nothing to do with digital rights management.

It seems like this is already deployed in Arch, as I've hit it yesterday. I was surprised at first, but it was quite useful.

Do not want. More dumbing down and opaqueing? This is as stupid as what happened to Windows' BSoDs.

Fun, and nice addition, but again another good example of let's sneak some rust in critical parts of the kernel so that rust will become mandatory.

I would not really have noticed if there wasn't this section about why rust, where arguments looks phony and clearly made up afterward to justify a decision that was already taken:

   This project was written in rust, because memory safety is critical in a panic handler.

   For this particular case, I found the Rust code to be cleaner, and easier to read.

How am I supposed to use a QR code when the only thing that I have to decode it is currently panicking? If I am supposed to draw it I hope it is only a few bits. A traditional BSOD with codes and registers would be easier to copy.
