It sounds like you're referring to the National Socialist German Workers' Party of WWII infamy. People are probably going to assume something else, FYI.
Unless your server was running Crowdstrike and also hosted in a time machine, yes it is.
Huh? Crowdstrike is an antivirus product, you're only affected if you bought and installed it on your Windows devices. Crowdstrike also had issues with their Linux version a few weeks ago, but that one was thankfully less severe.
Only if they manage Crowdstrike systems, thankfully.
The official guidance has to come from Crowdstrike since it's their problem, but this tip has helped on about 50% of our affected machines so far.
I believe they actually adopted it for their Tizen OS, unless I completely invented that memory.

A busted kernel module/driver/plug-in/whatever that triggers a bootloop is going to require intervention on any platform no matter whether the code happens to be published somewhere out on the internet or not. On top of that, Windows allows you to control/remove 3rd party kernel drivers just like on Linux, which is exactly what many of us have been stuck doing on endless devices for the last three days.
I fully advocate for open-source software and use it where I can, but I also think we should do that by talking about its actual advantages instead of just making up nonsense that will make experienced sysadmins spit out their coffee.
