    It doesn't. It will require you to reboot for every god-damned line of code that has changed.

    Firefox kept crashing because of explicit sync. Nothing new for an nvidia user such as myself. Still never going back to xorg.

    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 πŸ˜‰

    Sounds a bit like its a bad idea to install CrowdStrike regardless of the system πŸ™ƒ

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

    I think people are missing the point here. The biggest problem was not that the update was bricking the machines, that could've happened to Linux/macOS/BSD etc. The problem is that the solution to the problem is to MANUALLY access the machine, get into safe mode and type some commands. This is insane. And you should be able to EASILY disable automatic updates for apps like that on Windows Server.

    I dunno, I'd say them deploying an update that bricked machines at the scale they did shows they didn't test it very well at smaller scales. They could have even still used their users as beta testers, just needed to do a subset of them first.

    Yeah but 14th Gen Intel CPUs are still failing regardless of your OS.

    What a garbage.

    Just use Linux, SELinux, strong sandboxing, repositories, nonexecutable home directories, strong access control, offline backups.

    I’ve been driving Linux as my main for just about a month now and I didn’t think anything of it until I booted into Windows and had to deal with forced updates. Almost Done? JFC.

    Just kind of pondering my key combinations in tmux, vim, etc. I've started using "layers" and "combo keys" in my keyboard layout and it's really showing me what's possible
