It's his shell, not rm. The glob pattern hasn't been expanded yet.

>>61286313
what shell are you using?

So we make a normie distro with alias rm='rm -i' or 'rm --preserve-root' or have safe-rm installed. https://launchpad.net/safe-rm

>>61287986
--preserve-root is the default

For example ask the Fine Bros. to make an special episode like they did with win95 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ucCxtgN6sc

Like c'mon, we are the bone of the internet memes.

>rm -rf *
That only deletes from the current directory (default is your homedir), not the entire filesystem.

>-f, --force
>ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt

Are you retarded?

>>61289496
-f is a huge timesaver. you would know that if you've ever had to use your shell for anything serious.

>>61289618
I'm a system engineer. I work with the shell on a daily basis.

>STOP LETTING NORMIES DO DUMB SHIT.
How about no? We've had too many cases of useful features being removed to make sure normies don't hurt themselves. Look at Android: they're actively trying to make certain applications stop working if you have a rooted phone.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I have to note, on deb-based distros rm=rm -f.
