Sammy Arson Fox :3"This wouldn't have happened on Linux" I say smugly, as I copy and paste a command from a 2008 forum post, three hours into trying to get my fucking WiFi working on Arch.

@theresnotime This wouldn't have happened with Linux using only open source software, at least with major distros. Because there's plenty of testing for distro and kernel releases, and open source software is readily available to be tested with it. CrowdStrike is not open source.
I don't think Arch is a good fit for a production server though. Or for an average user for that matter. (disclaimer: I use arch btw)
Ives@starsider @theresnotime Did you hear about that xz hack that planted a backdoor in sshd earlier this year?
@ives @theresnotime Yes, but I was talking about making machines crash at boot taking down a massive amount of servers.
The XZ hack is exceptional because it can't be pulled off twice. Distributions have put measures in place to avoid a similar incident.
