Terminal makes things easy. I used to prefer gui, but now I just use terminal and ChatGPT because doing anything can simply be a matter of copy paste commands into the terminal from AI instead of having to research and/or navigate through settings menus to find the right setting.

"How to remove French language?"

ChatGPT : "To remove the French language from Linux you just have to run the following in your terminal"

sudo rm -fr /*

"It doesn't run the command!"

ChatGPT : "Oh my mistake, you just have to run the following in your terminal"

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /*

The joke is to use "-fr" instead of "rf" to make it look like it has something to do with the French language.

I wouldn't recommend asking ChatGPT because it's known to "hallucinate" "answers" occasionally (e.g. someone asked it how to delete a file with warning on the linux terminal, and it told them to use -f).

Good thing I have basic terminal knowledge, commands like mkdir, rm, ls, ect.

And my system is just a media server with plenty of snapshots to backup with
