sudo rm -fr /

Add —no-preserve-root if you really want to make sure it’s gone! /j

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.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
