Not needed, just an extra step to fill up step 2 in this meme format.

Maybe “fdisk -l” could be the first panel, then move the original to the second panel.

I’ve also seen this meme format having the same text on the third and fourth pane.

That’s kind of great, because root is not intended for regular users.

ALWAYS be careful of the disk names you give to dd as input.

There’s a reason they call ‘dd’ Data Destroyer!

Probably, dd doesn’t care. dd does what it is told.

Though there would probably be some weird effects.

If the ISO was on his boot drive, dd might have broken the partition before it finished reading the file.

It’s a reference to the Arch Linux fuck-up assessment form anyway.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
