I've found it funny how many people think they need to defend windows by saying " this could've happened to Linux too!!"

Okay, sure. Yeah you're right about Linux being just as insecure as windows too 😉

Something similar did happen on Linux clients with CrowdStrike installed not too long ago lol

To those many Linux users who took a look at their circumstances and said "I definitely need antivirus software!"

CrowdStrike does more than anti-virus and yes enterprise Linux installations need a lot of security controls that average Linux users don't need.

Ok fine simps, Linux is exactly as shitty as windows this was totally only a coincidence

Bruh, I've used Linux for over 10 years. I run Arch on my laptop and have a homelab powered by Proxmox, Debian, and OPNSense. I don't run any AV in my lab but do follow other security practices.

At work it's a different story. Products like CrowdStrike also collect logs, scan for vulnerabilities, provide graphing and dashboarding capabilities, provide integrations into ticketing platforms for investigation and remediation by security teams, and more. AV is often required because Windows users can upload infected files to Linux-run SMB shares. Products like CrowdStrike often satisfy requirements set by cybersecurity insurance.

This is not simping, this is not Linux vs Windows. You just clearly have no experience in the enterprise Linux space and business security requirements.
