A very little reminder that CrowdStrike for Linux (yes, the same falcon that crashed on Friday) caused kernel panics at least on Debian after a broken update in April. So the issue is not the operating system but the vendor not having a proper quality control (which is no big surprise, the current CEO was CTO at McAfee when they rolled out a broken update in 2010 which caused massive outages worldwide)
