But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update
Do you dual-boot Windows and Linux? Well, a recent Windows update seems to have been a bit messy and may have broken the ability to boot into Linux. Causing an alarming message to display of "Something has gone seriously wrong".Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
(I got your point, but your example was not the best one 😉 )
I'm torn.
On one hand, a sudden blue screen is instantly recognizable by now as meaning the system is kaput. #Windows has made it quite infamous.
On the other hand, a black screen with a sad penguin, preferably accompanied by some chimes on the speaker, would be a lovely homage to the classic #Macintosh.
Window's AI-powered Recall feature is an absolute train wreck.

Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.
Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.
Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.
