But I think the develpoer need to find some usable solutoin for the very
end-users too. Because; like my mother never will know what is that error
(and she also cannot read it, because cannot speak english...). As I know
Haiku is not only for professional users, so need to find out some user-
friendly solution. This is just my opinion...
I would not recommend Haiku in its current -- alpha (!) -- state to end
user. In a final product kernel crashes should virtually never happen. So
I don't think it's reasonable to make KDL more end user friendly (we
certainly shouldn't start localizing it or things like that).
Regarding the main point of the ticket, as has been written before, the
information density of QR codes isn't that good. Their main use is to
relatively easily retrieve a text version of a stack trace (which is more
convenient for developers to work with). I don't think they add much user
friendliness for the people retrieving the stack trace. Due to the lower
data density it even makes things worse, if the keyboard isn't working.
I wouldn't mind a kernel setting and a boot loader option to enable
automatic QR codes, but enabling them is not a good default IMO.
