    Maybe Linux is 10 years ahead. Let’s give our windows users some insight about their future:

    Don’t remove the French language pack with sudo!

          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.
