Linux on endpoints as a solution to the monopolistic security software problem

In July 2024, a security update from CrowdStrike caused a massive IT outage affecting Windows client systems globally. Manjaro, a Linux distribution, aims to address such risks by offering a more secure and manageable solution for businesses. They are developing Manjaro Immutable, a declarative, immutable version with atomic updates, giving businesses control over system updates and rollbacks. This approach emphasizes technology over process, advocating for professionals to steer software decisions within companies. Manjaro promotes open-source solutions like Linux for businesses, highlighting the benefits of solution diversity and transparency in open-source ecosystems. By allowing experts to choose tools and audit critical components, the risk of widespread system failures can be reduced. Manjaro encourages businesses to consider Linux for client systems, leveraging its proven reliability and strengths in the open-source community.
