To what extent, if at all, would have CrowdStrike's faulty update have been easier to deal with with an immutable distro? (lemmy.ml)

How does Falcon store these channel files on Linux? I don't know how an immutable distro would handle this given CrowdStrike push several of these updates per day and presumably use their own infrastructure to deploy them.

I guess if you pay them enough they could customize the deployment to work with whatever infrastructure you have but it's all proprietary so I have no idea if they're really doing that anywhere.
