Plus, CrowdStrike runs on Linux as well. _This time_ they only crashed Windows devices, but there's no guarantee that switching to Linux would prevent any of it

You can switch away from CrowdStrike but I doubt you'll be able to convince whoever mandated CS to be installed to not install an alternative that carries exactly the same risks.

In fact there was a recent CrowdStrike-related crash in RHEL: https://old.reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/comments/1cluxzz/crowdstrike_kernel_panic_rhel_94/ https://old.reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/comments/1cluxzz/crowds... https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7068083 https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7068083
