Destroying Linux on a Virtual Machine
Posted: January 7th, 2016, 2:18 pm
As mentioned on one of the other threads, I found out that there is a very easy way of destroying Linux. It works on the same principles as the destruction of Mac OS.
I mentioned on another thread that I tried running Linux on a Virtual Machine. It didn't run very well at all - everything was slow and there was serious lag present.
Since I had no use for the VM, I destroyed it before deleting it from my computer.

Another reason why you shouldn't use the sudo command unless you know what you're doing with it - however, at least with Linux, it gives you a warning in the latest versions. Using the --no-preserve-root command will allow the OS to be destroyed.
Again, I must reiterate this: do NOT run the sudo rm -rf / command unless you want to reinstall your OS (and have backed up your files), as it'll take out everything on the hard drive (and any other drives connected to it!).
