Linux Logos Ascend to Cosmic Enlightenment

Things Of Interest > Blog > Suicide Linux You know how sometimes if you mistype a filename in Bash, it corrects your spelling and runs the command anyway? Such as when changing directory, or opening a file. I have invented Suicide Linux. Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter will quietly resolve it into rm -rf / and wipes your hard drive. It's a game. Like walking a tightrope. You have to see how long you can continue to use the operating system before losing all your data.

A vertical collage shows Linux and operating-system logos paired with increasingly cosmic images of human brains and enlightened beings. The punchline is the description of “Suicide Linux,” a joke distribution where any remotely incorrect command becomes “rm -rf /,” threatening to erase the entire hard drive. It is used as an exaggerated reaction to dangerous terminal commands and Linux difficulty.
