One year on Linux, two distros, a few tears, four desktop environments, and zero regrets about leaving Windows.

    In contrast, Linux won’t stop you if you try to use a command that deletes every file on your PC (“sudo rm -rf /”).

    Actually AFAIK it will stop that specific command nowadays. I don’t have a VM handy to test, but without the “–no-preserve-root” flag it should give an error.

    (Don’t actually run that command on a machine you care about, I’m only 80% confident.)

        could this be based on the distro?

        or is it built into the kernel?

          It was made default for rm command in 2006.
