And has broken those systems in the past. But diversity in implementations across Linux systems likely means it doesn’t break all systems simultaneously.

Somehow this is “old news” but it keeps showing up in my Lemmy feed…

I guess it’s “let’s keep roasting Windows guys” time yet.

i mean there was a crowdstrike outage hitting linux in april; the difference is that windows is just more prevalent in the mainstream so it’s more noticeable.

More likely the overlap of “running on Linux” and “needs to run AV software for compliance” is much smaller than “running on Windows” and the latter.

I’m sure people would notice if all of the major online services started crashing.
