    Throwback to that time when Steam for Linux would sometimes rm -rf /* your computer. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

      Love it! rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/"* - what could possibly go wrong?

      I can’t believe this happened! Now I’m more interested in seeing those memes people posted on the issue.

        yes, do as I say

        But this isn’t what happened. For Linus, it was a bug with APT that made it uninstall the entire desktop environment.

      It did what?! Holy crap, I’ve never heard of that. Guess I should be less lazy and run a backup more frequently.

        If you uninstalled ROTMG when it first launched, it would delete everything from your disk.

  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like “every user of thing”.
  • Don’t get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don’t come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t remove France.
