Wow! But I shouldn't be surprised. All people I know run linux and were completely unaffected. There is a link floating around that crowdstrike did crash debian and rocky linux, but on linux there is no need for crowdstrikes products in the first place so I imagine that there were very few debian and rocky installations that were affected.
