       @theresnotime This wouldn't have happened with Linux using only open source software, at least with major distros. Because there's plenty of testing for distro and kernel releases, and open source software is readily available to be tested with it. CrowdStrike is not open source.I don't think Arch is a good fit for a production server though. Or for an average user for that matter.

       @ives @theresnotime Yes, but I was talking about making machines crash at boot taking down a massive amount of servers.The XZ hack is exceptional because it can't be pulled off twice. Distributions have put measures in place to avoid a similar incident.
