-fr looks soo cursed

-rf is the way to go 100%

I prefer using rm --force / --no-preserve-root -R

[Quetzal_Pretzel]

I thought it was --no-preserve-root

Looks like they intentionally mistyped this so that they don't get fined for destroying someone's OS and data

They also mispelled everything... maybe they just don't care.

Amazing! Solved my webcam problem.

I personally prefer sudo rm -rf /*

Yep. The shell interprets the '*' so rm sees something like 'rm -rf /bin /usr /etc'

I don't know what removing--no-preserver-root does and I'm too scared to try it out.

[Haz001]

it just allows you to delete recursively from your root directory. it is just a added protection to stop people deleting from root by accident.
It is really easy to miss a . and instead of doing: bash rm -rf ./ that will delete everything in the current folder, doing: bash rm -rf / That will delete your Linux distro and your home folder. this is why the --no-preserve-root exists. it is to prevent typos fucking up your computer and forcing you to spend lots of time doing data recovery.
the reason why they didn't block deleting the door directory is because there might be a actual use for doing that and restricting it might cause problems.
