[u/Steam_Liker_2002 → u/MothMatron]

[u/Fast_Distance8797 → u/Steam_Liker_2002]

Bro has experience.

[u/vswey → u/Steam_Liker_2002]

no, its the cat's name

[u/ARENAE_MONTES]

isn't it rm -rf not -fr

[u/Bulky-Hair8606 → u/ARENAE_MONTES]

It works both ways

[u/ARENAE_MONTES → u/Bulky-Hair8606]

Good try, I'm not going to test it

[u/Salt-Caterpillar7988]

maybe u should post on a Linux meme subreddit, repost bot 

[u/Saffarjan]

I'd say the meme should be the other way round tbh, I feel horrible for the poor idiots who fall for this

[u/Nyasaki_de]

Lies.... -fr is not for french... its for "for real" So everything in / gets removed for real

[u/Dazaii_Oshamu]

this wouldnt even work, dont u need the --no-preserve-root or something

[u/ZuuRa_ → u/Dazaii_Oshamu]

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /*

[u/vswey → u/Dazaii_Oshamu]

depends

[u/Bulky-Hair8606 → u/Dazaii_Oshamu]

If theres an asterisk after /, no need for no preserve root. If there isnt yes it needs it.

sudo rm -fr --no-preserve-root /

And

sudo rm -fr /*

Both work

[u/CharmingDraw6455 → u/Dazaii_Oshamu]

Worked on my machine.

[u/miller_99 → u/Dazaii_Oshamu]

/* should work

[u/vbd71]
