These threads are never productive. Running rm -rf &#x2F; is going to offer multiple interesting ways to make your life miserable, eg: a mounted FUSE filesystem, an NFS folder pointed somewhere important, Samba mounts from your network automatically connected from your desktop, etc. I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if you could nuke firmware off a device by deleting the appropriate file in &#x2F;sys&#x2F;.<p>Systemd hate is en vogue these days so they are an easy and common target. Why no invective towards the kernel that actually implements EFI-as-a-filesystem?
