What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?
  • I installed timeshift to have a way to create restore points just in case I mess something up while fiddling with my Archbox.

    I used it for a while before I decided to remove it. After that, I realized it didn't remove the "restore points" (I didn't fully understand how it worked) and thought it would be good idea to rm -rf /run/timeshift.

    My whole /home was smited (it uses symlinks to create these "restore points"). Before I realized, it removed gigabytes of data.

    Lesson learned: always understand how something works and always be careful when using rm -rf.
