  “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.

      Cause we are to them. We are nothing more than monetized eye balls.

  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-root didn’t prevent that from happening. :D

  I 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.
