… technically not wrong but not 100% truthful about it either 😂 when in doubt don’t run unknown commands for the internet or LLM. Be careful.

@nixCraft Caveat: it will only remove French if any of the packages you installed bundled it. I can see some francophobe (not francophone!) meticulously removing every French package from the computer... or just running BleachBit and letting it rip

@nixCraft Along the same lines that an asteroid slamming into the Earth will end all wars.

@nixCraft

IIRC, that's remove everything, don't ask for confirmation.

Did I get that right?

@nixCraft Would it? I thought you needed root and a special flag for that one...

I'm not going to play with that fire though.

@nixCraft She's cheating on us. She's not blonde.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social yes, she forgot --no-preserve-root in command so french language won't come back in an update

@nixCraft She forgot the "sudo" command, otherwise it will not do a complete job of erasing your computer.

@nixCraft you actually need

sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root

@nixCraft@mastodon.social But I don't speak French though, so I do want to remove it.

...

WAIT! WHERE HAVE ALL MY FILES GONE?!

@nixCraft What if I don't have the French language installed?

@nixCraft i did this in she early 00, just out of curiosity. It was funny, 😄
In the early UEFI era you could brick you Mainboard this way, because the Firmware was accessibly via /proc.

@nixCraft the linux equivalent to just delete system 32
