None. There are a bunch of folks here who clearly haven’t spent a day in enterprise IT proclaiming Linux would’ve saved the day. 30 seconds of research would’ve lead them to discover crowdstrike also runs on Linux and has created similar problems on Linux in the past.



Oh could you link me the source of the claim that all linux clients of crowdstrike went down all at once? I'm very interested to hear it.


No it couldn't. Crowdstrike on Linux uses eBPF and therefore can't cause a kernel panic (which is the fundamental issue here).



It's even better when you get told about the magical superiority of apple for that...

... Except Apple pretty much pushes you to run such tools just to get reasonable management key alone things like real-time integrity monitoring of important files (Crowdstrike in $DAYJOB[-1] is how security knew to ask whether it was me or something else that edited PAM config for sudo on corporate Mac)


Enterprise mac always follows the same pattern, users proclaim its superiority while its off the radar, then it gets mcaffee, carbon black, airlock, and a bunch of other garbage tooling installed and runs as poorly as enterprise Windows.

The best corporate dev platform at moment is WSL2 - most of the activity inside the WSL2 vm isn't monitored by the windows tooling so performance is fast. Eventually security will start to mandate agents inside the WSL2 instance, but at the moment most orgs dont.
