Maybe Linux is 10 years ahead. Let's give our windows users some insight about their future:
Don't remove the French language pack with sudo!
If you have a 64 bit computer, you gotta delete system32.
This took me a minute to figure out 😝
I don't get it.
sudo rm -fr /
Add
—no-preserve-root
if you really want to make sure it’s gone! /j--no-preserve-root
is only required if you try to remove/
. For/*
I don't think it's needed.Ah oops, I didn’t even catch that. Forgot that
/*
only matches to glob and thus wouldn’t try to remove/
I know just enough about Linux to know that's problematic. I don't know anything about language packs to know why someone try to remove one this way though. Just seems wrong from the get go.
It's an old joke:
sudo = admin rights
rm = remove
fr = force recursive (the more popular syntax is
"rf" but for the joke its "fr" which looks like a short form for French)
/ * = C:\
It doesn't remove the French language pack, it removes the entire harddrive.
Tbf it does remove the french language pack.
And then some more.
I understood the joke after seeing the command. It was getting the command from the joke that lost me. Cause I'd never have tried removing a language pack like that to begin with.
rm -fr /
But what if I hate the fr*nch?
