      To be completely fair, he nuked his desktop environment when it absolutely shouldn’t have happened. Yes, there was the warning and he should’ve read it, but coming from Windows, how many times is the “This app may harm your PC” threat legitimate? Linus made an honest mistake, but pop truly made a massive oversight.

          Windows warning is a reminder that an app can be a virus. There is no warning that the app will self destruct your PC even if it’s a reputable app.
