This is old news that happened a few years ago from what I remember.
Bug has since been fixed.
Ok, thanks for the info. I started freaking out :D
Horrible horrible clickbait image - immediate downvote
It's not clickbait. The Linux version of Steam consisted of a binary, as well as a script called steam.sh which could be used to launch Steam. There actually was a line in that script with a comment above it saying # Scary!. The script was not supposed to rm -rf the entire hard drive, but if something went wrong, exactly that happened.
Didn't say the content was, the image itself is clickbaity.
Well, it's not if it's the actual code Steam shipped with on thumbnail.
