That's the main reason I love Linux. It won't stop you even when what you're about to do is completely idiotic.

When I'm working on Windows, the majority of the time I spend on trying to bypass Microsoft's protections that are stopping me from doing the things I want to do instead of doing that thing.

Remember how in Vista when it was released, even opening a simple program would require smartscreen to open.

Isn't that the command to install more RAM? /s

Yeah, "rm" is short for "RAM". "-rf" makes it "really fast".

That's how you remove French from your system. Saves a lot of space

I can easily uninstall „MS Edge“ like any other program, without any hacks or scripts.

Ahhhh, I totally would, but you see the way my bank account is set up...I have a virtual environment and a system environment...

All my dependencies are in the system environment, and it takes 3-5 business days for a transfer.
