Something something rm -fr / to remove the french language pack
and
rm -rfremoves only the République française language packother ““french”” species are inferior and don’t deserve mention
honestly I’ve had the best luck when I use the French Riviera version to delete my hard drive:
rm -Riv /
the people who troll or make fun of linux beginners are the same people who wonder every year why desktop linux isn’t more mainstream
Jokes on you I trolled myself by being stupid and not asking for help when installing on the crap old pc I have and fucked myself over by bricking it
Yeah you cant really brick a PC with software. You can lose whatever data ison the hard drive. but even that is likely recoverable
I did somehow manage to ruin an SSD when trying to set up dual booting. I couldn’t actually read the data off of it after whatever nonsense I did. After reformatting it a few times to no avail, I gave up on it.
I probably should have tried reinstallling the firmware on the SSD, but I had it at that point. Even so, the PC still worked. After convincing the computer to boot off of the original drive, I had no issues.
Short of a hardware fault, you cannot destroy an SSD no matter what you throw at it. Try resetting the partition table using gparted and you can use it for whatever again. The windows partition manager tends to not be reliable when dealing with removing wonky linux partitions.
Yeah this is the is the biggest reason I dislike Linux forums in a broad sense. Snobby elitist pricks.
Don’t even get me started on arch Linux forums… my favorite is when someone says is something like “this is super fucking simple you just follow this guide: [insert wiki link that is basically a scientific dissertation on the history of arch]
It’s the same on Lemmy. Linux people live in a fantasy world…it’s like ya I’ve done some things on Linux but is it the best OS for most people? Nah. Not even close.

there is a great in-depth writeup about fork bombs in general, and this one specifically, here.
cheers mate. it’s a virus because its copied all over ✌🏽 part of the artwork concept

Thats often true though.
In Linux community stuff at the beginning I was really annoying. You need to learn to search the internet first. Lemmy may be different because its free internet (unlike Reddit or Stack*) so duplicate questions may help.
Especially in the GrapheneOS Discuss there are people asking the most basic questions, not getting that its Android and those things are the same anywhere.
Then why don’t you look it up for them? They may be lazy or they may not know what to look for
This tends to be my issue. When things are brand new to you, you may not even know what to begin searching for.
Even a link can help point someone in the right direction.
