But did the plane have windows?

No, it was running Linux.

That's how you know it didn't just crash

It never took flight in the first place because a repository was incompatible with an other one, so they had to purge everything before they could commence.

Kernel Panic!

Exactly!

Probably had an Nvidia card.

Then it wouldn't have crashed.

Probably running Windows Embedded and went for an update. An hour is long time to wait to get flight control back.

Now I wonder, what happens if an aircraft or control tower is running Windows 10 and it decides to update mid-flight?

It crashed, so of course it ran Windows.
