The problem with that logic is that this failure was not caused by Microsoft, it was caused by ClownStrike. Their software works on Windows and Linux (not sure about Mac) and they fucked up the linux software a few weeks before the Microsoft incident.
Even if Linux had more market share in the affected endpoints they would still have been affected, just on different timelines I guess.
I'm not claiming it was Microsoft's fault. I blame crowd strike. But freebsd is not windows. A bad patch could have had a different result on a different system. They're different.
Yes, they are different but as you can see it wasn't smooth either: https://www.techspot.com/news/103899-crowdstrike-also-broke-debian-rocky-linux-earlier-year.html
I'm not sure how ClownStrike works on BSD, though .
The only difference might be some linux distros hold two kernels, so you have a backup boot. And some have immutable system like A/B android so if boot fails it auto rollsback to the old working state
