From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fun fact: The Windows BSOD colour was as easy as adding a couple of lines to a .INI file for a long time. Then, as they tend to do, they made it more difficult, but it was still possible. Third party tools were written to do the work.
Very recent MS Windows I have no idea about. My search-fu is failing me.
Anyway, my point is that the "two lines in a config file" method would be nice.
Knowing systemd though, it'll be "send some kind of message into a
/procpseudo-file", or a sub-sub-sub-command of one of the manysystemd*commands which ultimately does the same thing.
