If I'm remembering right, RHEL is Crowdstrike's primary Linux target. And NixOS wouldn't even be a factor since it's basically just not enterprise grade.
That said, they need a serious revision of their QA processes.
RHEL, Ubuntu, & Debian cover the vast majority of enterprise installs I imagine, and provide a solid testing base for software developers in the Linux business software space.
Maybe you add Gentoo, some post-CentOS clones/forks, or other more niche industry/workload specific distros, but how you do skip Debian?
I'm not an expert in any sense.
But it was always my impression that Ubuntu and Debian were what you use on personal machines, while RHEL is the baseline standard for professional servers.
Is that not accurate? CrowdStrike's target customer seems to be the sort of company that would insist on using RHEL for the enterprise features.
I've been using Linux professionally for 15 years. It's been Debian or Ubuntu almost everywhere I have been. Although that might be regional.
Which region, if you don't mind me asking?
South of Sweden
What's it like living there? I apologize for the off-topic question but I'm fascinated by the Nordic States in comparison to my experience growing up and adulting in the US. I'm envious of your higher quality of life index being so high in those countries.
I don't know where I'm going with this... just wanted to start a drunken conversation.
After doing a quick search I found we're not too far behind you (two rankings lower) but I still like to hear from actual people how they view their govt., and how they're helping (if at all).
