CrowdStrike recently caused a widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue on Windows PCs, disrupting various sectors. However, this was not an isolated incident, CrowdStrike affected Linux PCs also.

    Companies don’t really use Debian or Rocky in widescale production because they have no support.

    Now red hat or ubuntu is a different matter.

    Honestly though this does point out that this is a pattern of behavior on crowdstrikes part. This should have been the canary in the coalmine.

      We actually use rocky and I think Debian at work for servers. We are currently migrating away from EOL centos .

      We use Alma, which is basically Rocky. Before that, CentOS. Lots of people don’t need or want the expensive support contracts.

      OSS support though donations and commits is the way to go unless you get value out of those contracts (we would not).
