    I came across this amusing little item <https://www.osnews.com/story/138395/bugcheck2linux-run-linux-in-a-tiny-risc-v-emulator-during-a-windows-bsod/>
    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.
