The Register runs a regular series of reports on public signage showing crash messages instead of the ones they are supposed to show. Usually these are Microsoft Windows messages, often for hilariously out-of-date versions of Windows.
This one, for a change https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/03/24/bork_walmart/, shows a Linux boot failure. But it is still a hilariously out-of-date version of Linux.

Another one https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/03/26/pi_bork/, this time a Raspberry π, on an advertising kiosk at an airport. Lovely to see every one of four CPUs each coming to a halt and emitting its own stack dump ... pity the reason for the crash has scrolled off the top of the screen by this point ...
