   I came across this amusing little item   
      
   sometime back. It describes a tool called “BugCheck2Linux”, which   
   gains control when a Windows system crashes in a “Blue (or is it Black   
   now) Screen Of Death”.   
      
   When that happens, it starts up a RISC-V emulator running a Linux   
   kernel, with a bare-bones command shell. The idea is that you can use   
   shell commands to collect useful information about your broken Windows   
   system, to try to figure out why it’s broken.   
      
   Well, more broken than it is normally ...   
      
   Or, failing that, you could run something else more useful under that   
   Linux kernel. Like a game of DOOM.
