For the hell of it, I decided to see what would happen if I did the infamous sudo rm -rf /*

This laptop had Kali on it from a while ago, and I wanted to throw Arch on just for fun experimentation purposes.

It was pretty interesting, watching everything disappear, and then it froze, at which point I restarted it and was greeted with this.
Bored science has concluded, time to do more bored science.

    This can brick your device if it has a shitty UEFI implementation.

    Happened to me once, because stupid arch install scripts didn't properly clean up after terminating the install process, and I didn't check if anything was still mounted.

    I've been very cautious about mountpoints ever since.

    @Valeth that's why I did it on one of the ancient laptops that was given to me by family to wipe. It's already pretty close to death, but I figured if I have it I might as well play with it until it dies
