The article implies that CrowdStrike issue impacted only Debian and Rocky 9.4. Debian I can see. But how did something impact Rocky but not RHEL itself or Alma or Oracle?
Is Rocky actually different from RHEL now? Their entire brand promise is that they are the same.
The software is not the problem. Software breaks all the time. The problem is monocultures and centralization. Building entire industry ecosystems all around a single point of failure. This is the just-in-time manufacturing supply chain disruptions and fragility all over again.
Who knew, a diverse ecosystem was a strength, not a weakness.

Everyone got an MBA and failed to realize it was just corporate brainwashing.
The software is the problem if it's produced with a corporate mentality of "ship first, fix later".
Yep, at this point the "security" companies can do with imitating malware development practices.
@lemmee_in I can't find any news about this. Just a statement in a forum and everyone basing subsequent articles on that. It appears to have been limited to a single company? Is there any support for this claim?
Based on the article, it seems like the issue only happens on a specific distro. Is it only Rocky or other Debians?
I wonder if other distros experience similar issues. Maybe linux based users don't even install CS at all and try to leave their OS as lean as possible.
