Crowdstrike has a lot of internal control of your machine in order to do things like hook into the processes you are running to observe any malicious activity. It makes sense that a bug could bring the whole system down.

I will never understand how some people have no morals and will purposely enact laws to make people’s lives worse.

You misspelled “pity”

Driver issues usually only happen if the manufacturer doesn’t provide a Linux driver. Usually it is best to do some research to ensure the hardware will work before purchasing. Otherwise, the driver usually is included with the kernel so it is plug and play even for things that require manually downloading and installing on the Windows side.

Also, I’m not trying to get on any high horse. I personally think Linux is a great alternative to Windows and would love for everyone to at least try it out and see if it is right for them. It could save them tons of headaches and open the door to a new skill set, or just to breathe new life into that old laptop in your closet gathering dust. Linux has a lot of great uses that aren’t possible with Windows. Give peas a chance.

It’s a boil the frog scenario. Windows users will always cope with more and more shit thrown at them.

Sometimes nuking and resetting up is faster than fixing the problem.

For your line of work, maybe not. But who cares? They can hire more employees or pay them overtime.

We aren’t machines. What’s the point of life if all we ever do is work? Are we working to live, or living to work? A 32 hour work week makes it a 4/3 day split instead of a 5/2 day split. Seems a lot more balanced if you ask me.

I often dream of that alternative universe where Bernie became president instead of Biden…

Yes.

Sunk cost fallacy and tribalism.

Hey, that’s not fair! Sometimes I write 3 lines.

That’s dumb, it should be the other way around. By default it should come with Linux, and you have the option of picking the Windows edition instead and pay that Microsoft tax.

Or we can just enjoy mastodon and Lemmy for what it is worth. You don’t want it to become mainstream, you just want things to be more federated in general.

How did email and RSS (podcasts) become so derederated but nothing else?

They do, and judging by their environment, pretty wealthy as well. Plus a happy family. As opposed to being unhinged enough to give finger guns to a laptop or be bombarded with “tech stuff”. Great ad for gnome :)

(I’m just joking around. KDE is great too.)

But then how will we enjoy having debates if we all shut up and actually solve problems?

How else am I supposed to run Bonzi Buddy?

The people who do care have already switched to Linux.

With proton, Linux can play almost all games just fine. Is it 100%? No. But it is good enough to no longer make that an excuse anymore.

It makes it legal for doctors to perform abortions. I would think free market will dictate who will offer abortions pretty quickly. Doctors gotta get that bag.
