Bruh, I’ve used Linux for over 10 years. I run Arch on my laptop and have a homelab powered by Proxmox, Debian, and OPNSense. I don’t run any AV in my lab but do follow other security practices.

At work it’s a different story. Products like CrowdStrike also collect logs, scan for vulnerabilities, provide graphing and dashboarding capabilities, provide integrations into ticketing platforms for investigation and remediation by security teams, and more. AV is often required because Windows users can upload infected files to Linux-run SMB shares. Products like CrowdStrike often satisfy requirements set by cybersecurity insurance.

This is not simping, this is not Linux vs Windows. You just clearly have no experience in the enterprise Linux space and business security requirements.

Ah, was a bit off. The update disregarded update controls per reddit and I must have misunderstood what exactly the channel update did. I know for the sensors you can set how closely you want to track current releases but I guess the driver update is not considered under those rules. I use CrowdStrike in my day to day but not from the administrative side, sorry for the misinformation. Thanks for the details Gestrid.

CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don’t need.

Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol

It’s because this got pushed as a virus definition update and not a client update bypassing even customer staging rules that should prevent issues like this. Makes it a little more understandable because you’d want to be protected against current threats. But, yeah should still hit testing first if possible.

Nah, CS sent out a virus definition update that included a driver file that was fucked and caused a boot loop. Because it was a virus definition it bypassed staging rules set by customers. It’s 100% on CS unless we want to talk about how Windows architectural choices on how it handles loading improperly formatted kernel level drivers. CS also caused issues on Linux not too long ago.

Burry me with my ERA

Fellow humans should I finish the bird muscle with a saccharine concoction, an overfermented grape extract concoction, or a ground plant concoction from the geographic region of Carolina? I know us fellow humans frequently debate the proper and just pairing of concoction and flesh.

Yup, this one was ISIS flavored.

Have some roasted edamame, unfortunately they taste a bit shit though.

But on the other hand if chemicals in the water make the friggen frogs gay maybe the same applies to mermaids. Maybe all that’s left are a handful of super gay mermaids.

Waking up in the bag is a known problem with Windows’ new sleep mode but the rest ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Sorry but what you’re referring to as Windows is actually GNU/NT Kernel…

OpenMediaVault! It has a nice web UI and it’s Debian based. However the development cycle doesn’t always line up with Debian releases so sometimes it can take a few months to switch major versions.

Sorry I should have been more clear too. I was trying to convey that the dev could have been paid off/threatened or it could be the work of a state actor or team of state actors under an alias. In one case they could care about their reputation but in the other maybe not.

The one true bussy

Could be a state actor too
