@msdropbear42 `we` as in paid IT staff, don't 'do' this to other people, most of it is corporate management mindset/incompetence run riot.

That said, all you can do is support alternative options, and keep in mind that #Windows #EndUsers did not expect this and had it foisted upon them by #ITManagers that drank the #Microshaft coolaid.

I'd gladly reach out and help the user as they're the ones that need the support, however .. it's not 'their' PC that #Crowdsrike has borked, in this instance, but their service providers boxen.

Maybe next time a #Linux or #FOSS user reaches out offers those poor souls help, they'll listen more closely. We can only hope they understand, it's just different, not hard.
