Greek opposition suggests the government should switch to Linux over Crowdstrike incident.

  1. Not surprising. Government infrastructure should not be built on top of Windows. It’s different for workers who are more comfortable with a particular operating system, but in most cases many servers have no place being built on Windows.

    They must’ve missed the memo about Crowdstrike also fucking up Linux machines a while ago, but I don’t expect politicians to know the difference between an OS and EDR software.

    Having the government’s IT services heavily depend on a single foreign company isn’t great, but I’m not sure Greece can afford to have their own Linux distro and IT security suite. That should be a job for EU as a whole.

    We don’t even use Crowdstrike? We have archaic windows XP and Vista computers, all our shit is mostly hard-copies and on paper.

    Also, SYRIZA couldn’t even run my country for 4 years do they expect to learn how to use LINUX??????

    You guys have no idea how ‘world class’ our politicians are… there was an actual official statement saying that Greece wasn’t affected because the software hasn’t been updated for ages…
