Try it out on your own system.

Doesn’t explain OPs task management example. And won’t crash the kernel, just make things unresponsive

it didn’t crash the kernel, it just killed every process that isn’t run by the root user, which kind of feels like a crash

Ah, that definitely would feel like a crash. Sent kill signal to cgroup accidentally? Or just iterate over all processes and signal them all?

There’s this game “HyperRougue”. Run it on Arch.

hyperrogue-git version 13.0d.r60.g27fb2d92-1

Go to settings -> 3D configuration -> projection -> projection type -> . Cycle through the projection types. One of them causes something good enough to call a crash.

I don’t remember anymore if it was just a display driver crash or a kernel crash and I haven’t updated to a newer version (which might have fixed it).

Doesn’t even startup on my box, but doesn’t crash the kernel or system either, just regular application crash
