    DRM = Direct Render Manager

    I had no idea, was confused, and the article never de-acronyms/initialisms the term

    Great, potterydung enshittified Linux to the point they added DRM to the death handler.

    (only half-kidding, anti-Linux is explicitly what potterydung is trying to do; but it never ceases to amuse me that the name for the manager thingy was chosen to acronym to DRM. How will we ever know when DRM (pejorative) is actually added to Linux video?)

      What color should the blue screen of death be if not blue! I guess it’s coming from Windows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death

      An early blue error screen first existed in the Beta Release of Windows 1.0; if Windows found a different DOS version than it expected, the error message “Incorrect DOS version” alongside other text messages detailing what check failed to pass would be appended to the boot screen before starting normally.

        Some HP cameras back in the days also had a red screen of death when things went very wrong.
