From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I freed my entire disk by removing the French language pack
I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:
Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".
The joke goes
rm -fr
, which stands for "remove french". Yours has double "remove" and is less believable.Ops, you are right. My bad
(This is a joke don’t do this or you’ll ruin your computer)
You can run it without causing any problems if you add the
--no-preserve-root
flag as well of course@MrSoup @bricked

For the curious, rm -fr /
