In the rm utility there is the '--no-preserve-root' flag which is for
protecting the root folder, but in my opinion it is not valid as it is not
clear enough to new users to rm, the terminal and unix-like systems in
general
I am suggesting a much more clear alternative to this problem
--yes-i-want-to-delete-my-entire-system
instead of
--no-preserve-root
I completely understand on placing a locked door in front of inexperienced
people so that they dont make mistakes that they cant recover from, but i
would also say that if they dont know anything at all then they will still
unlock the door and walk forward if anyone with any authority, not just a
higher authority, tells them that this is exactly what they need to do to
solve their problem
It is sometimes best to not just place a locked door in front of people but
to also place a sign on the door that lets them know why its locked in the
first place
