PSA: if you have to deal with the Falcon Sensor of Crowdstrike on unsupported Linux OSs like Archlinux.

If you set VERSION_ID=" " in /etc/os-release, the console will properly display the OS in the console.

They have some kind of logic where if there's no value for VERSION_ID they won't display the NAME or PRETTY_NAME indicating which OS is running.

Thanks to #AMD and #Intel kernel devs !!

So despite, having surgically exorcised M$ flavored shite from all things in my life, excepting the compulsory admin usage for work, I'm still exposed to these clowns #failure efforts.

I hope this tips more people with relevant skill sets into #Linux kernel dev help arena, I'm not close to that skill level , so would be of little use in that environment, or I would.

I'd have thought their contributions in and around the kernel would have been, well checked after #crowdstrike's efforts... illustrated how crap kernel security was in #Windows land.

Does Azure linux really give them a free pass in that space?

Where to next, might need to go learn the finer points of #BSD, as a last ditch bastion... ? gawd, must I consider Apple ??

- pre-existing experiences
- presented with options (sort by most common)
- consistent layout
- visual cues and summary/details/questionmark tooltip to learn about concepts,

honestly most of what's annoying in #Zscaler or #CrowdStrike or AWS is there's too many menus that do similar things (or lacking the one thing you need on a dash). you could technically get places in 3 clicks, and they are technically organized within themselves as cohesive units, but the story of each super-page as a whole is bad (and often duplicated)
