      I’m not shocked at all, but there seems to be a very sizable number of people on Lemmy who think if people just used Linux there’d never be another problem or exploit again, which is ridiculous. Mac users used to feel the same way until the market share started to grow and all of the sudden you’re seeing news of serious exploits.

    • Nah, but there were some Linux evangelists claiming this couldn’t possibly happen to Linux and it only happened to Windows because Windows is bad. And it was your own fault for getting this BSOD if you’re still running Windows.

      And sure, Windows bad and all, but this one wasn’t really Microsofts fault.

        The sane ones of us know well that a faulty driver is a faulty driver, but! Linux culture is different. Which is why this happened so spectacularly with Windows. EDIT: and not with Linux

          I’ve had the proprietary Nvidia driver crash my whole system a few times. Hoping their new open-source driver (not nouveau, I mean the new out-of-tree open-source one) is better.

          Yeah, it supports kernel modules, so is also vulnerable to bad third party kernel code.

            🤔if nobody makes a third party kernel module, then there is still no risk

              Also, even if they do, you can choose to not load it.

              It amused me that so many people had this installed, but had no idea what it was for.
