A global single point of failure event happened recently. I'd bet there's more
concern around the gambling potential of
[this stock](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CRWD:NASDAQ?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwin6srysbeHAxX4mYQIHXJ1DVkQ3ecFegQIPhAX&window=MAX).
Apologies, I've lost my [naivete](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTX).

Dumping Windows for Linux and/or macOS wouldn't have prevented this one. In
fact, under similar circumstances, the stock, I mean software that crashed
everything would've caused Linux and macOS (userspace) systems to panic/brick
too.

If you need

This is _not_ a product endorsement. I failed marketing. You shouldn't trust
anything you've just read.
