This article has a hard paywall, so I found another source.

According to this article it seems the impact was limited because it only effected the most recent Debian server release. So the issue was limited, discovered quickly, and easily fixed.

The recent windows issues was extensive for all windows machines, discovered after massive outages, and difficult to fix.

I’m not sure this is a win for Linux, but there a number of decisions that CrowdStrike made that failed to live up to the trust issue by WHQL certification.

I think that this didn’t have the same extent for Linux is pure luck.
