Instructions for Windows users who want have improved security without CrowdStrike

  You cannot migrate all devices running Windows to Linux easily, if your machine contains all sorts of software that was designed to run on it as is. That would be a really poor decision.

  Your staff knows what software stack you’ve built should work where and how, and this includes Windows. Swapping it with another operating system will complicate things way more than what they’re dealing with, and no one will want to deal with that.

    Getting off a sinking ship is also complicated.

  A very little reminder that CrowdStrike for Linux (yes, the same falcon that crashed on Friday) caused kernel panics at least on Debian after a broken update in April. So the issue is not the operating system but the vendor not having a proper quality control (which is no big surprise, the current CEO was CTO at McAfee when they rolled out a broken update in 2010 which caused massive outages worldwide)

  Or, just don’t use garbage like CrowdStrike.

  None of my machines were affected. None if the machines at dozens of my friend’s clients were affected.

  The only people affected were those who:

  1. Use garbage like Crowdstrike

  And

  2. Don’t properly manage their environments with things like staged rollout/updates.

    So what you and your friends used for EDR? Bother to recommend something doesn’t suck?

      They don’t.

      SMB doesn’t use it.

  How can you tell if someone runs Linux on their personal computer?

  Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

    I’m glad you brought this up.

    I use Linux Mint on my personal desktop and OpenSUSE on my personal server.

      I’ve been toying around with mint as a secondary thing, i kinda like it. Haven’t made the effort to fully swap though.

    Fun fact: I use Linux on my personal PC

    And my home server

    And my hosted server

    And my home router

    And my phone

    And my work PC

    Sure! I use Ubuntu and Fedora primarily on my laptop and gaming PC, but Win10 and Win11 do run more stable on my machines. 🤪
