rm -rf /*

It doesnt work for me,

C:\Users\HelloHotel> rm -rf /*

not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\HelloHotel>

Why

Edit: this is a joke, daily drive linux. (I even think cmd would give a diffrent error message than "not a command") the child comments are an absolute shitshow

It's a Linux command. It means Remove (rm) from the root folder (rf) everything, and don't warn me about this action (/*)

I can't tell if you're joking or if I misunderstood what you wrote.

It's remove (rm) recursively (allow removing folders) (-r) and "force" (don't prompt for confirmation, e.g. when removing write protected files) (-f) everything in the root folder (/*)

With -r and -f getting combined into -rf of course.

You're running an incorrect kernel. Make sure you're running a modern release from here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux

Don't forget to chroot into your NTFS partition first!
