I get these are jokes but I really don't find anything funny about it, it becomes a meme and then people start getting more creative and pushing it more and being more covert and people come up with other little japes then new Linux users get their shit destroyed and maybe important info gets lost or precious memories so they say Linux is a piece of shit and go back to windows.

It's not even funny to start with so when it inevitably inspires people to be assholes and bullies that's all we've achieved.

Yes, but also I would hope that if you have the autonomy to install linux you also have the autonomy to look up an unknown command before running it with superuser privileges.

Why is it the canon way to install rust by piping curl output to sh???

At least it doesn't start with sudo, lol.
