You get the beauty of a completely bloatless system

I just love how linux "helps" you to delete the os by suggesting what to type in for the command to work

Windows: You do not have permission to delete me. Linux: Your computer bro do what you want.

Before running this command, make sure to disconnect all network drives.

Not saying i accidentally deleted 2TB of data when testing a snapshot recovery in a vm. But i kinda deleted 2TB of company project data when testing snapshot based Desaster recovery in a vm...

(I connected the drive to store the snapshot. Forgot to unmount before destroying the local system on purpose)

That was not a fun experience...

For any newly minted Linux users, this also wipes the contents of all plugged in hard drives that are loaded (mounted) in the system, any and all synced drives such as Dropbox, Google drive etc, network attached storage where you have write access and a ton of other stuff including the boot loader.

Now for entirely unrelated reasons I want a video that explains how to get the system set up again

Last time I checked, the `--no-preserve-root` flag only works specifically on /, so if you use an expansion `rm -rf /*`, it will delete everything without the same prompt.

I love how linux just casualy continues running in ram while windows would refuse to delete itself and will blue screen at the girst problem

rm: remove, rf: rubbish files😊So what this command does is it cleans up the garbage in the /root and keeps the computer clean

I once typed in "rm -rf /*" instead of "rm -rf */". What a difference in these two commands!

The first erases your entire computer, the second removes all sub-directories in the current folder.

I managed to hit Ctrl+C when I saw it was going wrong, but I lost my /bin and a few other system folders before it went into my folder and started erasing my personal files. Luckily, the first folder at the start of the alphabet was "Backups", so it was erasing those when I stopped it. I managed to not lose a single personal file!

After that I mostly stopped using rm -rf with wildcards.

I did it once inside a docker container.
Its safe but your heart rate will increase anyways.

Well, actually, it will delete everything until it crashes, which doesn’t usually take very long.
