    Throwback to that time when Steam for Linux would sometimes rm -rf /* your computer. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

      I can’t believe this happened! Now I’m more interested in seeing those memes people posted on the issue.

          No that was a bug with the linux package manager when he was trying to install steam, steam wasn’t the issue

            Are there tools like pusshift for Lemmy already or why can you see a comment I deleted directly after posting it?

        yes, do as I say

        But this isn’t what happened. For Linus, it was a bug with APT that made it uninstall the entire desktop environment.

      It did what?! Holy crap, I’ve never heard of that. Guess I should be less lazy and run a backup more frequently.

        If you uninstalled ROTMG when it first launched, it would delete everything from your disk.
