Unfortunately, I think Linux wouldn't be safe from a crowdstrike type issue if it was widely adopted in corporate-land the way windows is. AFAIK corporate demands would likely require a kernel module for antivirus and that might have the same implications were it to fail. Makes me wonder how this sort of thing would occur in an OS with a microkernel architecture

Hopefully it's fixed now, and it won't affect you too much!

Wonderful. We use CrowdStrike. Looks like I may have a slow morning. I left my computer on last night though so I may be OK.
