      Remember to put

      #!/bin/rm
      

      at the top of every file, to teach people not to execute files they shouldn’t.

            Not really cool to post commands like that without consideration for privileges for newcomers, make sure to use sudo first. /s

            NixOS has rm. But it’s not under /bin. There is no /bin in NixOS. The user’s programs are inside /run/current-system/sw/bin, and those are symlinks from files hidden in /nix/store.

            Running rm -rf / --no-preserve-root under NixOS, will not nuke the entire system, since /nix/store is mounted as read-only, and only remounted as rw when new applications are downloaded, or older unused ones are wiped.

                Maybe… I haven’t tried it to be honest. I will need to setup a VM for that, as my personal files would get wiped anyway.

                If you want to test it yourself, try to rm while nixos-rebuild is running.
