Thank you for mentioning that. I really hate how people on here think Linux is some panacea that will magically solve everything. It too it just another tool that depends on how it’s used. CrowdStrike exists for Linux, and it was crashing systems a few months ago.
The bigger issue is most people who use Linux know what they’re doing. There are a lot of competent Windows Administrators too who didn’t have issues or were able to recover them in a timely manner. What happens though is you have a very large set of people who just need a computer, need is secured and don’t know how to administer or manage it. Doesn’t matter if they’re running Linux, or Windows, they’ll always have the greatest problems. They just happen to use Windows because it offers better Enterprise support options and usability. One day, Linux may be that, but I guarantee it won’t fix all of those pebkac issues.
I mostly agree. As someone that’s worked with both Windows and Linux for over 15 years, I think we need to ask the question of “why do we see so many incompetent admins?”
If you aren’t paying people enough to give a shit about what they are doing, they won’t.
CrowdStrike absolutely fucked Linux in the past.
