This sounds like the type of stuff a company would require on their business laptops, so this might actually be a good thing for Linux adoption. Of course it sucks for people who were already using Linux for work and now gotta put up with this shit lol.
Defender on Linux desktops requires the standalone Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 or Microsoft 365 E5 and E7.
IDK. Defender had a good reputation when I still was on Windows, 8 years ago. It was non-intrusive and didn’t slow down the OS like other AV solutions. One good experience I had was when I dragged a zipped e-mail attachment to the desktop out of interest and Defender immediately quarantined it. Don’t understand the MS lingo in the text you quoted but yeah everything mentioning 365 sounds like a PITA. So maybe it’s BS now.
All I know now is that Windows Defender keeps causing problems with people trying to install Deus Ex Randomizer just because it’s an unpopular and unsigned program
