Yeah, I see a lot of noise on social media blaming this on Microsoft/Windows... but AFAIK if you install a bad kernel driver into any major OS the result would be the same.
The specific of this CrowdStrike kernel driver (which AFAIK is intended to intercept and log/deny syscalls depending on threat assessment?) means that this is badnewsbears no matter which platform you're on.
Like sure, if an OS is vulnerable to kernel panics from code in userland, that's on the OS vendor, but this level of danger is intrinsic to kernel drivers!
