Windows DOES NOT USE CROWDSTRIKE. Certain companies use it. some work systems and websites are down. You are affected just as much as us.

    A linux user friend from Steam keeps talking about this all day, how this is the start of the shift towards widespread Linux adoption when enterprise and users realize how vulnerable Windows is lmao.

    I was just listening and pretending to agree, I didn’t want to ruin his cope.

    Cloudstrike is on Linux too. Just putting that out there.

    Windows sucks no matter how you want to spin this. Accept your fate mortals! UwU

    Windows needs tools like Crowdstrike because of how insecure it is compared to unix based operating systems.

  6. What is this post even about? There’s no context.

    Wait until you come across a stereotypical arch user. Those exist and I’ve seen at least one. Their behavior is awful. Ask me how I know.

    They cannot comprehend why people want to not use the terminal to install stuff and so on.

    Workplace PCs are working fine, and I was wondering why an electronic outdoor on the way to work had a BSOD on it. Guess I have the answer now.

    Was intresting. We had 2 pc still working at my job.
    On was win10 so i guess it didnt have the Crowdstrike shit and one was a win11 laptop.

    That’s not the point. The point is that it proves that 3rd party apps can do whatever they want to your windows machine (aiming at you Vanguard). CrowdStrike has more permissions than you do on your own Windows install (so does Vanguard actually), and that’s an issue. This specific incident is just a result of the actual issue.

    r/conspiracy is having a normal one right now.

    Software errors are software errors. No operating system is immune to them. I don’t understand why other Linux users keep bashing windows for this… it’s not even software that is built into windows. Makes no sense imo. Bash crowdstrike if you for some reason feel the need to, but Microsoft has nothing to do with this.

  13. I did not know crowdstrike was THIS widely used. That’s a big strike on their company, they shouldn’t be on the market anymore.
