Support for QR code #kernel panic screens[1] is now in #Linux-next[2] and thus slated for inclusion in #LinuxKernel 6.12. 🥳

Note, the QR encoder requires #Rust / #Rustlang support to be enabled when building the kernel, as it is written in Rust (see [2]).

I'd really like to read a well researched article that sums up how Linux distros reacted to the massive influx of #Linux #kernel CVE that started ~half a year – both for their #LinuxKernel packages and their live-patching offerings.

But I guess that is an enormous amount of work that no media outlet in this world is willing to pay anyone for writing. 😕
