    Should have used Linux!

      The cause is a malfunction of the Crowdstrike monitoring solution, which employees use to spy at anything ever done on company hardware. They do have a Linux version and it has been reported to cause kernel panics (not sure if during this incident).

        it was because crowdstrike themselves notified that this specific instance did not affect their linux nor osx distributions of security, and was windows specific.

      Should have not trusted a third party to install proprietary code into the kernel. It’s not a Windows issue directly, they have a Linux version too, but anything that allows third parties to put proprietary code into your kernel and automatically update it without your approval is untrustworthy.

        They have a Linux version, but this happened only to the Windows one… Coincidence?!

          Yes, coincidence.

          It’s not like they haven’t caused Linux outages in the past.

          Probably coincidence? It sounds (???) like this is a pretty simple fix on Windows.

          The number of times I have borked my Linux machines so they wouldn’t boot is, well, greater than zero for sure. Any operating system can be bricked to the point of requiring manual intervention by software with elevated privileges.

            The simple fix: turn it off and on up to 15 times

            The simple fix 2: delete system32

        Counterpoint: Windows bad.

          I can’t disagree with you there.

      This in particular is a Crowdstrike issue. They suck as much as windows. Crowdstrike has had issues on Linux before:
