Can confirm, it takes up so much space it's surprising they install it by default, my drive is like 99% free now.
Unrelated, but none of my files are in my documents folder anymore and I can't run steam, anyone know if they relied on the French language pack?
I hope this is a joke if not, I am so sorry ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Obviously a joke
It was a joke, this time.
But back in my university days (holy shit I feel old, that was around 17 years ago), when flash drives were still new ish technology. I had installed a Linux live cd, which was a brand new idea back then, on my USB stick that also contained a bunch of my files.
I thought it would be a fun idea to rm -rf / to see what it would do to a live cd environment.
Then I realised it was not a fun idea as I started to see the names of my project documents being deleted.
it's because it deleted everything
