I accidentally untarred archive intended to be extracted in root directory, which among others included some files for /etc directory.
I went on to rm -rv ~/etc, but I quickly typed rm -rv /etc instead, and hit enter, while using a root account.
Let he who has not wrongly deleted system critical files in Linux cast the first stone.
I can do one better. A similar ‘rm’ command but while a Windows disk was mounted read/write. So, 2 OSes damaged in one command.
Amateurs. You all did it accidentally. I deleted system critical files intentionally believing it was beneficial.
/dev is just all bloat with stupid recursive directories
