Crowdstrike took Debian and Rocky down earlier this year due to a bad update… Linux is not immune.
And?
Debian is a FREE (as in beer) AND a free (not as in beer but as in freedom) system maintained mainly by volunteers which has an actual focus on us, the end users.
Microsoft, on the other hand, makes us pay through the nose for shit systems that all have focus on Microsoft, NOT on the end user. If you make me pay and spy on me and serve me ads, then at the very fracking least I expect you to take responsibility when you fuck up, and paye for my lost time and money. However, as windows fracks up just about every week, Microsoft would be bankrupt within a month if they’d have to do that.
Y’know, I’m pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily
Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.
I love Linux, but it’s not meant for every situation
