I get these are jokes but I really don’t find anything funny about it, it becomes a meme and then people start getting more creative and pushing it more and being more covert and people come up with other little japes then new Linux users get their shit destroyed and maybe important info gets lost or precious memories so they say Linux is a piece of shit and go back to windows.

It’s not even funny to start with so when it inevitably inspires people to be assholes and bullies that’s all we’ve achieved.

copied from the original post but was exactly what was going through my mind

This is not malicious because it will not work. You'd need --no-preserve-root to actually do anything.

Edit seems I was wrong

The use of /* might get around that, because the shell expands it to /usr /var /lib /home etc.
