    It’s an old joke:

    sudo = admin rights

    rm = remove

    fr = force recursive (the more popular syntax is

    “rf” but for the joke its “fr” which looks like a short form for French)

    / * = C:\

    It doesn’t remove the French language pack, it removes the entire harddrive.

      Tbf it does remove the french language pack.
      And then some more.

      I understood the joke after seeing the command. It was getting the command from the joke that lost me. Cause I’d never have tried removing a language pack like that to begin with.
