    Yes, though you could also do rm -rf /* afaik to not need --no-preserve-root

    Edit: I just realized that the * is already in the meme. So this should already work as is. Alternatively you could always use the good old way of “act now and remove all French roots of your system: rm -fr / --no-preserve-root

        because it won’t let you do that:

        elvith@testvm:~$ sudo rm -fr /

        rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on ‘/’

        rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe
