    Eh, this is a classic joke by now. There’s those jokes on the Windows side too (like the ‘delete system32’ one).

      Except that you cannot actually delete System32 on Windows like you can delete your whole drive on Linux.

        You can’t do this on Linux anymore either. Unless you are on a way out of date system, you need to add the --no-preserce-root flag as well. And I think it still prompts you to make sure it is really want you want to do.
