        Agree. Don’t just copy and paste CLI commands you find on the internet, suggested by a stranger

        For reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix)

        The rm -rf / variant of the command, if run by a superuser, would cause every file accessible from the present file system to be deleted from the machine.

      The most deceptive joke I’ve seen on this is sudo rm -fr / to remove the French language pack
