To my knowledge --preserve-root is the default for rm. I am not that sure -f or * will make any difference. Anyhow, to be “absolutely sure”, I’ll have to sacrifice a system in VM to verify that.
Wow. I feel totally lame compared to some of these aliases!! Mine is as follows:
Mind you, this is on Kubuntu 26.04 - which I am seriously considering switching back to either Endeavor or Cachy. I had 2 kernel panics right after updating after install!
alias upgrade=‘sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo snap refresh’
alias cleanup=‘sudo apt autoremove’
Mine is a mix of random madness, a few taken out that were specific to me, but some might find these useful ; (and yes, f*** was actually the other word, but had to star it out to post )

Genuinely curious on what you’re raising an eyebrow on @r0ckhopper - as far as I can tell, I haven’t got any aliases that get people to nuke their systems
