    Probably dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda or whatever your system volume is

        Only on very old hard disks, on newer disks there’s no difference between overwrite patterns

      With wear levelling on SSDs you may be able to recover some of the data

      I did have RH Linux die while updating core libs a very long time ago. It deleted them and the system shut down. No reboot possible. I eventually (like later that day) copied a set of libs from another rh system and was able to boot and recover.

      Never used rh by choice again after that.
