Crowdstrike's malware-as-a-service is now affecting Linux. Red Hat, Rocky and Debian stable are affected. According to distrowatch.com, most of us here running linux as a desktop are using debian and debian stable based distros like Mint, Ubuntu, MX. Stop updating, 2 wks+

Great post! You are spot on about the Linux exploits available. A simple visit to PacketStorm can be mindblowing for those that are unaware of your statement. Just look up the XZ backdoor exploit for a perfect example.
Been a UNIX and UNIX-like engineer for decades. Personally, I mainly use OpenBSD (and some FreeBSD) for general surfing and servers. Arch for Linux is my preference. Many also do not understand the amount of large corporate contributions to the Linux kernel. Kernel exploits are a "dime a dozen". BTW, although much larger and more complicated than it was 20 years ago, compiling your own Linux kernel is still a great thing to learn, not too difficult, and can teach you many things (plus it's just fun to do, lol)
Correct. FUD will always be a very strong and controlling element. Knowledge is power!
Don't visit packetstorm from work unless you want to be blocked by your company IT policy, and maybe asked why you went there. Do it from your phone or home.
