Anyone using linux also wasnt effected.
I don’t get the downvotes other than we were affected fixing windows machines all day…
I think its probably windows users who have heard us go on about linux and now would prefer to suffer the consequences than admit they where wrong.
do people use crowdstrike privately or is it just companies that use it? Cause only people that used crowdstrike with windows were affected. You normally dont have any influence what OS your company environment uses. The IT of the companies are the ones that usually could push for a change to linux.
It’s mostly companies. I mean annual pricing starts at $60…
