I thought I’ll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I’ll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

      /bin, since that will include any basic programs (bash, ls, cd, etc.).

      For the memes:

      sudo rm -rf /*

      This deletes everything and is the most popular linux meme

      The same “expected” functionality:

      sudo rm -rf /bin/*

      This deletes the main binaries. You kinda can recover here but I have never done it.

      /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 or /lib (some distros) or /lib64

      Some things (like hosts file) are in /etc. /etc mostly contains configs.

      As in, the directory in which much of the operating system’s executable binaries are contained in?

      They’ll be spread between /bin and /sbin, which might be symlinks to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. Bonus points is /boot.
