Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

In contrast, Linux won’t stop you if you try to use a command that deletes every file on your PC (“sudo rm -rf /”).

Actually AFAIK it will stop that specific command nowadays. I don’t have a VM handy to test, but without the “–no-preserve-root” flag it should give an error.

(Don’t actually run that command on a machine you care about, I’m only 80% confident.)

  could this be based on the distro?
  
  or is it built into the kernel?

    It was made default for rm command in 2006.
