~Psst...~ Linux was hit in April, you just didn't hear about it.
I make this comment being a daily linux user. Arch btw.
I don't understand how so many people are taking "Program with level 0 access shipped faulty code that caused the OS to refuse to boot until a single file is removed" as "Windows bad lmao". Not that I disagree with Windows bad, just the over liberal application and acting like this is some sort of Linux win.
Give me kernel level access and I can make anything refuse to boot

TLDR; red hat broke userspace
Debian, rocky, and redhat.
Mint... Remains mint.
Mint cinnamon 21.3, mint cinnamon 21.2, and mint xfce 21.3 BTW.
Did you got affected by it?
Nope. Mint btw.
Nope
Not just in April, distros broke with the June CrowdStrike bug as well.
RedHat identified CrowdStrike’s software as being the source of a kernel panic.
Same with Debian
And RockyLinux
This article has a hard paywall, so I found another source.
According to this article it seems the impact was limited because it only effected the most recent Debian server release. So the issue was limited, discovered quickly, and easily fixed.
The recent windows issues was extensive for all windows machines, discovered after massive outages, and difficult to fix.
I'm not sure this is a win for Linux, but there a number of decisions that CrowdStrike made that failed to live up to the trust issue by WHQL certification.
I think that this didn't have the same extent for Linux is pure luck.
