Suicide Linux

qntm came up with the idea, and someone else dutifully turned it into a distro.

You know how sometimes if you mistype a filename in Bash, it corrects your spelling and runs the command anyway? Such as when changing directory, or opening a file.

I have an idea: Suicide Linux. Any time – any time – you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into rm -rf / and wipes your hard drive.

It’s a game. Like walking a tightrope. You have to see how long you can continue to use the operating system before losing all your data.
