Always remove the French language pack from the root dir

If its freshly installed, you still remember how to do it again... 15 minutes and its installed again.
Worse is managing to type your password and confirm password identically incorrectly. It takes the same 15 minutes, but also 15 minutes of not being able to believe it.
Based on a true story.
True. After 10 I decided I had enough and rebooted.
Gotta delete the French language pack
Last September I installed Debian 12 in my laptop with an encrypted LVM. Then I tried to add a secondary SSD, also as an encrypted volume, by following some random tutorial I found (spare me, it was my first time fiddling around with an encrypted installation). The next thing I remember is that I was in an initramfs shell trying to fix the boot process 😅🤣. Since I was running low on patience (and it was like 3 AM) I simply decided to nuke the install and start again. Eventually I was able to configure the SSD correctly, but this event reminded me how easily is to brick your system if you're not careful enough. Fun times.

The one time when misstyping your password was a good thing
You emptied your home directory?
Depending on where that terminal is open, you probably haven't really done much damage
Do people actually do this?
I enjoy hearing the word foolish after such a long time!
make a snapshot of it and then just run the command to your heart's content
Wouldn't
rm -rf /eat /home, too? That doesn't get backed up in a snapshot...
im gonna have to obtain an testing laptop for this
