yeah, I know they support Linux, why else would they make a statement about Linux not being impacted?

it doesn't change that Linux wasn't impacted, or that crowdstrike is used primarily on Windows (a little hard to prove, but pre-incident there was substantially more "crowdstrike" "windows" than "crowdstrike" "linux", a pattern that holds true on their subreddit. also, anecdotal experience).

My point is the OS has nothing to do with this issue. whatever desktop or server OS you're using makes no difference if you're going to have third party management utilities on your infrastructure the vendor can push updates to without your knowledge.
