Lightning strikes
Linux isn’t a magic bullet. It still has bugs, it still has crashes, it still can’t stop user error (although rm is harder to run on root these days) and it still can’t stop poorly tested updates. There seemed to be some smugness around the CrowdStrike incident (read about that in news, page 6) that took down certain Windows systems worldwide in July; the only thing was, a CrowdStrike update also took down Red Hat and Debian systems in April.
