Bruh, I’ve used Linux for over 10 years. I run Arch on my laptop and have a homelab powered by Proxmox, Debian, and OPNSense. I don’t run any AV in my lab but do follow other security practices.
At work it’s a different story. Products like CrowdStrike also collect logs, scan for vulnerabilities, provide graphing and dashboarding capabilities, provide integrations into ticketing platforms for investigation and remediation by security teams, and more. AV is often required because Windows users can upload infected files to Linux-run SMB shares. Products like CrowdStrike often satisfy requirements set by cybersecurity insurance.
This is not simping, this is not Linux vs Windows. You just clearly have no experience in the enterprise Linux space and business security requirements.
I don’t need to argue about windows vs Linux. You’re overcomplicating and misinterpreting my point and it’s no longer worth it to me because you clearly are prioritizing defense
Edit: let’s see if we can get to 100 downvotes here. I mean this shit is just so offensive right?
Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol
Sounds a bit like its a bad idea to install CrowdStrike regardless of the system 🙃
checkbox compliance – companies are required to have something in place that checks the box so they can pass the audit
If you’re lucky, you only gave to have the software installed - but not running.
lol yeah that’s a glowing review.
“Oh, we can fuck other shit up too!”
Anything to defend windows
Noone needs to defend Windows. We need to defend the truth. And the truth is that this was not a Windows issue. It’s a Crowdstrike issue.
Windows being an insecure shit show is no one else’s fault though. Not sure why that draws an argument. It’s well known
True. But nothing to do with this incident. That’s the point.
Everything to do with it. You don’t buy expensive software to protect your shitty OS unless it’s a shitty OS
Linux had a similar outage a few weeks ago, my man.
To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said “I definitely need antivirus software!”
CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don’t need.
Ok fine simps, Linux is exactly as shitty as windows this was totally only a coincidence
