Summary: The perception manipulation campaign (it certainly feels like one) keeps Linux in the headlines in relation to security issues that aren't even in Linux; we know who stands to benefit from it and the people who promote these messages are sometimes ex-Microsofters [1, 2]

THE Microsoft-connected CrowdStrike is once again attacking Linux in an effort to sell its so-called 'products' and disservices, trying to twist a bunch of generic or Microsoft issua as (somehow) a "Linux" thing. With the media in their pockets, and parrots as messengers, they can probably get away with it too. A VFS-related issue (or Samba) gets spun as "Linux", attacks on VMware are spun as a "Linux" issue, and systemd is apparently a kernel now, based on how media reports on it. The video above takes stock of the media's campaign of obfuscation and distraction, apparently compensating for Microsoft's most terrible year by shifting negative media attention to Linux and then [cref telling officials to blame Free software]. ⬆
