The Linux community has long relied on verbose error logs to diagnose boot failures. These logs provide detailed information about the cause of the problem, allowing system administrators and users to quickly identify and resolve issues. However, with the introduction of systemd-bsod, a new service that displays a full-screen error message on the screen when a boot failure occurs, some members of the community have raised concerns.

You may have heard about something called "free and open source software" (FOSS). What is it, and why should you care? FOSS refers to software that anyone can use, modify, and share for free.
