From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So it's Linux vs Windows
No it's Crowdstrike... we're just seeing an issue with their Windows software, not their Linux software.
That being said Microsoft still did hire crowd strike and give them the keys to release an update like this.
End result still is windows having more issues than linux
Huh? Crowdstrike is an antivirus product, you're only affected if you bought and installed it on your Windows devices. Crowdstrike also had issues with their Linux version a few weeks ago, but that one was thankfully less severe.
