Hey fellow #Linux users, despite the #CrowdStrike problem only affecting #Windows, this is not a windows problem.
This is an "automatic update that got forced onto everyone with insufficient testing while also having way too many permissions" problem.
If you think big corps wouldn't run something similar on Linux, I have a an NFT of a bridge to sell you.

....except, the fix would be scalable and automated, from a compartmentalised part of the system, and more importantly: immediately reversible. Potato's, tomatoes.
@ainmosni crowdstrike stated it was only rolled out to Windows, not apple or linux.
So could easily have been all 3....
@ainmosni
The bad actors could try, but it really is a Windows design problem.
It should not automagically install new drivers.
No other OS does this.
