Of all the things to take from windows, this is one of the better ones. Especially if it gets more info in the future. For less tech-literate users, a screen like this is a lot better than a hard to read dump to a terminal.
I’d suggest some kind of “press this key to view debug information” text (or make it documented but not visible, to avoid people just pressing whatever button is written on the screen)
How are you going to use your computer when the kernel panics. That’s kind of the problem, it panicked. It would be nice if it rebooted after a minute or two
Any information given would obviously be for use with another device.
QR code, for example. These are instructions or information about the crash, not links (except the QR code, which would obviously be read by another device).

How would a kernel that has already crashed handle keypresses?
I’m not an OS dev, I have no idea how stuff this low-level works.
