You know that Linux has protection against rm -rf / since a few years ?
Guess it's a sign that Linus got milder on the way, growing old :-) And the terrible BOFH joke of this grew old and boring as well. Gotta take care about new Linux users.
Actually that's RMS getting older. Afaik only GNU rm protects the root.

Yeah, some old habits never die.
Holly shit this has 700 upvotes
Stupidity is entertaining.
You can switch seamlessly between systemd and openrc on gentoo. Although it might be worth using one of the debian derivatives in this user's case - not sure they should be messing with their system too much!
I believe you can install runit in debian. It'll be like devuan but with extra steps.
