It is against the rules but but what is it exactly?
Spreading Linux misinformation is saying things about Linux that aren’t true.
Examples:
These can be jokes or trolling like “You can save space by removing the system’s pre-installed French language pack by running
sudo rm -fr /” (disclaimer don’t do this!)Or misconceptions, such as “You probably don’t have a virus even if you suspect it, due to Linux’s nature viruses aren’t possible” (you absolutely can)
I have seen that code block so many times, but never with the options switch around so it stands for french 😂 Thankfully in most cases these days you need to add
--no-preserve-rootfor this command to run.deleted by creator
I don’t think these things are universal across software, but you can often put
-fon its own, separate from other flags, or get in the habit of using the long--forceflag.deleted by creator
That you can “do everything that windows does”. You can’t. You can do similar things, you can do different things, you can do basic things, yes, but Linux can’t do everything that windows does.
disclaimer: on linux since 2006
Could you give an example of something linux can’t do?
Or are you alluding to windows software not running on linux even with wine etc?
Linux can’t prevent you from permanently removing files. While in Windows it’s a chore to remove a number of files/bloat, which are then most often back after a system update.

Some see this as a feature.
It’s 100% a feature! Truly a horrendous approach to lock down a device someone purchased to the extent seen on Windows.
