hi linux thread

I don't actually have a question, I just wanted to say that I'm learning the CLI and I just did a rm -rf / in a VM just to get it out of my system.

It feels like a rite of passage, watching this VM destroy itself from the inside.

A good distro would have stopped you and made you type in --no-preserve-root before it broke anything. I think SELinux might also disallow you from killing your system like that but I'm not sure.

yeah, I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu server and it made me type that in.

But that's not as exciting of a story

The rite of passage is desperately hitting ctrl+C and restoring the system using only bash built-ins and the 4 binaries left in /usr/sbin, I think.

well I don't know how to do that quite yet but I have the alcoholism part of it down at least
