        sudo rm -fr /

        Add —no-preserve-root if you really want to make sure it’s gone! /j

          I know just enough about Linux to know that’s problematic. I don’t know anything about language packs to know why someone try to remove one this way though. Just seems wrong from the get go.

            It’s an old joke:

            sudo = admin rights

            rm = remove

            fr = force recursive (the more popular syntax is

            “rf” but for the joke its “fr” which looks like a short form for French)

            / * = C:\

            It doesn’t remove the French language pack, it removes the entire harddrive.
