Only the OGs will remember when Steam would sometimes rm -rf /*
your system. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

Don’t forget that time when installing steam on Linux Mint would prompt you to uninstall gnome, and Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) got burned because he didn’t read the confirmation message.
That was not Linux Mint but Pop! OS.
Today on Linus Drop Tips: how to drop your ENTIRE DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT
Are you kidding me!? To move forward he had to write that he knew what he was doing! I’m pretty sure he saw the train wreck happening and pushed forward for views.
I wouldn’t accuse him of doing it for views (he gets enough of those), but he is just not much of an expert when it comes to software in my opinion.
Cropping the text to the torn photo? Have my upvote!
THANK YOU! I was hoping someone would notice!
Let me tell you about Bumblebee and their issue #123, though that one’s even worse seeing as installing system packages are done as root.
(Their install/update commands included
rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg
)Edit: Please stop posting stupid image memes or unhelpful messages. This interferes with Valve’s ability to sift through the noise and see if anyone can figure out what triggers it.
Eyo what?! 😂 That reminds me of that issue Linus was running into with Pop_OS! where Steam would delete is DE.
That was a bug in APT. Iirc, it thought that every package was conflicting with Steam.
