The most deceptive joke I’ve seen on this is sudo rm -fr / to remove the French language pack

Agree. Don’t just copy and paste CLI commands you find on the internet, suggested by a stranger

For reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix)

The rm -rf / variant of the command, if run by a superuser, would cause every file accessible from the present file system to be deleted from the machine.

Is one of my favorites. Of course, most of you are too young to know what that means.

Is that easier than typing clear? Also, not sure why you’d say something like that about people’s age. Anyone using terminals today is often going to run into weird quirks of them being around for decades even if they’re young.

In the days before *nx, “terminal” meant a VT terminal and “clear” wasn’t a thing.
