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.

I would be too, except Firefox just started crashing on Wayland all the morning D;
Me too. I'm also grateful I still accept cash.
From my understanding, they have some ring 0 thing that fucked up. Could that not in theory happen on our beloved Linux systems? Or does the kernel generally not give that option?
It's proving that POSIX architecture is necessary even if it requires additional computer literacy on the part of users and admins.
The risk of hacking (which is what Crowdstrike essentially does to get so deeply embedded and be so effective at endpoint protection) a monolithic system like Windows OS is if you screw up the whole thing comes tumbling down.
