Linux users: “See what we mean?”
Windows users: “La la la! I can’t hear you! Losing my data is clearly better than having to learn something new!”

“You mean if I delete data, then it’s gone? No matter what platform?”

Updating windows is not a command that deletes your data

I mean, it shouldn’t be, but apparently it is

rm -rf is way more difficult than doing literally nothing, yes.

There is a difference between telling your computer to delete something and the computer complying, and doing a windows update only to find it’s deleted your data.

Linux treats users like a person and Windows treats users like children. Be the person Linux trusts you to be.

Windows treats users like a product.

I love how people immediately downvoted you to hell for this lmfao.
Like yeah, the guys on the comments: only people use rm -rf, absolutely no scripts use it at all. Something like motherfucking STEAM absolutely didn’t remove people’s data that one time. And hey, their so beloved
–no-preserve-rootdidn’t prevent that from happening. :DI love and currently use Linux, but my GOD some Linux people are annoying.
If something like
del C:\*.*somehow ended up deleting your D: drive too, we wouldn’t stop hearing the end of it, but here on Linux systems, it is a perfectly normal thing, and people somehow DEFEND this atrocity lmfao.rm shouldn’t exist at its current form. Full stop.

$ su - # rm -rf —no-preserve-root /
Should do the trick. (Obviously don’t try it unless you know what you are doing and know what may happen when it hits your EFI variables.)

Not with GNU rm, no.

I have literally never had one of these things happen to me before. I’m pretty sure people just make them up for clicks at this point.

Jesus, what a scam. Why does anyone put up with this?

Windows 11 only comes in 64 bit flavors so this would be a weird feature to leave in place.

IMO, the Windows Subsystems is kind of cool. WSL 1 used it too.

I know people who were affected when a Windows 10 update just straight up deleted all personal files in 2020.

Cool story, I’m sure no one using Linux has ever lost any data ever.

This was an issue that appeared when writing heavy files to disks (50gb+), so people that werent doing it were safe. And don’t worry, its a matter of when LOL. I was a windows “virgin” until one day my system drive appeared encrypted and locked by bitlocker when I never activated it, nor had any recovery key.
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 11 hours ago
That’s not how it works lol. It doesn’t just randomly encrypt your hdd and lock you out lol. User error.
