Time to switch to alternatives
It isn’t a Microsoft issue in the first place. Doesn’t mean switching to alternatives isn’t a good idea, but this one isn’t on them for a change.
In a way it is a Microsoft problem. Windows can’t handle live updates to the system like Linux can. Security updates mean downtime to be scheduled. So they need a program to do security, so CrowdStrike comes in to do security for these companies since Microsoft can’t protect them. And mistakes happen.
Security definition updates can be installed without rebooting.
And Crowdstrike is a more advanced system compared to normal antivirus you would use at home. It’s an endpoint protection system that does more than scan for viruses.
Microsoft offers their own alternative called Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Both Crowdstrike and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Ah so it’s a linux problem when the gpu driver causes instability, cause NVidia is making a shitty and proprietary linux driver and the market share is too small to warrant putting more effort in. Linux doesn’t have it’s own fully-featured graphics driver, so that company has to come in and provide their own since linux can’t supply it. And mistakes happen. Roughly the same logic.
That’s not linux fault. Neither is it Microsofts fault when a company selling a security product decides it has to run in kernel mode and then they don’t properly test a release and just decide to yolo it.
