In A UEFI World, “rm -rf /” Can Brick Your System
This New Linux Kernel Update Can Damage Your Laptop Display
There was also a particular optical drive that would brick if installing from a particular I believe Red Hat Linux installation cd, though I can’t find a source for this (personal experience with 2 drives - warning was in manual). -This was ~20 years ago.
I mean, right in one of those articles it says that Windows also can destroy your UEFI
“Matthew says with about 20 lines of code on Windows, you can cause the same havoc. He points out that mounting EFI variables as read-only could break some user-space applications and isn’t the solution to the problem.”

Right, Windows lives rent free in your head. haha
As a public service announcement, recursively removing all of your files from / is no longer recommended.
When was it ever recommended?
There’s absolutely no reason to do this, ever.deleted by creator
