    Edit: yes, it was Systemd who implemented it.

    Nah, systemd-bsod is different and designed to show info about boot failures:

    It’s rather quite useless.

    drm_panic on the other hand has nothing to do with systemd, and is what’s shown in OPs post. The link can be quite useful for users to post their issues on bug reports or whatever. But if you know what you’re doing, then it’s pretty easy to configure it to print text instead.

    Also remember, the reason drm_panic exists is because graphical outputs would otherwise freeze during a kernel panic, and not show anything useful.
