    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.

    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 of the machines at dozens of my friend’s clients were affected.

    The only people affected were those who:

    1. Use garbage like Crowdstrike

    And

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

    Given the purpose of Crowdshit, I have zero sympathy for these companies.

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

    Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

      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. 🤪
