At work we have to run Microsoft defender on Linux. Seems pretty good. I don't even notice it.



Huh? You mean you install windows defender on linux, or you perform scans with defender from windows on the linux partitions?

Was this irony, or has the world become even weirder?

Nope, it's definitely the latter. Microsoft released a version of Defender for multiple platforms including: MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. IIRC there's personal and enterprise editions both linked to 365 through "Microsoft 365 Defender".

I really can't imagine it doing much especially on iOS, it's there for the security checkbox/policy I guess.
