In this video, we look at what happens when we delete the home directory on a linux system. Warning! Doing any of these commands will destroy your computer.

🚀 SUMMARY:
There's a joke that usually makes it around the internet where people on forums and chat rooms tell people to run some variation of the "rm -rf /" command. This WILL destroy your computer!! And basically require you to re-install the operating system. I try this out on a few virtual machines to see what happens! This can happen if you delete home directory or delete root directory.
