From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"How do I remove a folder called root using the Linux terminal"
"This task can be achieved with a simple command, just run
sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-rootand the folder should be deleted. Hope this helps!"Don't use copilot without checking another source.
Actually that's the way to remove the root folder, but obviously people should know if you remove the root folder you remove everything in the partition included the system and the files, it's not a problem of the AI it's a problem about dumb people.
The joke is I'm referring to a generic folder simply named root. Not the root folder.
Hey, I'm not the one telling people to blindly follow an LLM.
I didn't said to blindly follow an AI, in fact, you should never follow anything blindly, I just said(supposing you have common sense) you can save some time using an AI to look for answers instead of using normal search engines.
