    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.
