I get these are jokes but I really don’t find anything funny about it, it becomes a meme and then people start getting more creative and pushing it more and being more covert and people come up with other little japes then new Linux users get their shit destroyed and maybe important info gets lost or precious memories so they say Linux is a piece of shit and go back to windows.
It’s not even funny to start with so when it inevitably inspires people to be assholes and bullies that’s all we’ve achieved.
Yes, but also I would hope that if you have the autonomy to install linux you also have the autonomy to look up an unknown command before running it with superuser privileges.
That’s making an assumption that a brand new Linux user knows they are running the command with superuser privileges.
Half the time you websearch a problem you are having in Linux you will find someone telling you to fix it by running a command that starts with sudo without explaining what any part of the command does. New people probably regularly run those commands without finding out what it does and it probably works (or at least does no harm) a good portion of the time because most people aren’t dicks. So then you’ve got new people trusting that form of advice.
It’s hard to blame them, they are new to the system and very few experienced users are going out of their way to explain the basics to new users.
Don’t run this command unless you want to delete all the files on your system and break Linux on your system.
is linux that dependant on French? wow
Did you know? Linus Torvolds is actually the consort child of two french people! That’s why you have to use the french flag when removing folders, it’s an ode to his upbringing
