      I mean… You’re not wrong. If there’s a French language pack on the system, it will remove it.

      Tap for spoiler

      Along with everything else.

      alias trash-put from trash-cli in both sudo and user.

      myrm() {
  trash-put "$@"
}
alias rm="myrm"

      This has saved my ass so many times. Especially when typing “rm * .png” instead of “rm *.png”

      Can restore the files using the cli or from system recycling bin.

      The alias to rm is probably not best. So getting use to using another name is probably best. But I’m never had a problem with it.

        Or just use snapshots. If you are into aliases make an alias for rm to make a snapshot before deleting something.

        I’ve never ran into any issues from using rm but I like this idea and will be using it as I only see positives

          Downsides can be inconsistent behavior. As with any alias it’s not meant to be anything but a replacement in your shell. Scripts/SSH etc.

          Also, you gotta remember to empty your trash. :)

        Did you actually run it?

        In this case, I hope you had a backup. Boot a live system to see if there’s anything left. Back that up, then reinstall.

      make sure to add --no-preserved-root to make sure to update all the English libraries too so you can make sure only freedom fries are respected.
