    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.
