DO NOT DO THIS! DO NOT RUN THIS COMMAND UNLESS YOU KNOW THE OUTCOME! THIS COULD DAMAGE YOUR SYSTEM BEYOND REPAIR
I was just testing some distros in distrotest.net and I noticed ferenos I tested it for a while and decided to destroy the system
I run "sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root"
And this happened LOL
Yes, the rm command is "remove." The -rf means "Recursive Files." In other words: Remove Everything.
It will wipe your drive.
This command will work on any distro and will work on MacOS.
It can also do a lot of damage on Windows systems, too.
Quite a lot of distros know to protect against running this command nowadays, don't they? Though probably not as funny as Feren's there -- and not that I feel like testing it with my production machine here, heh.
There were some cowboys back on the old forum when I was the sole moderator at the time as other chief moderator was absent due to illness - they claimed he was dead and issued this command to "speed up your computer"! Numpties!
