To be fair, there isn’t an example from the Windows store specifically, because the vast, vast majority of Windows programs are installed via standalone installation packages.

But yes, there was one instance where uninstalling a game would recursively delete the parent directory, up to and including potentially deleting the entire C:\ drive.

Was it the default software center? From my memory of the video, he tried to install Steam through the Ubuntu Software Center at first which failed, and then he found a guide that mentioned using sudo apt install steam to which apt made him type Yes, do as I say to confirm the (unfortunate) set of actions it was going to perform.

While I still don’t blame Linus, a more apt (ha!) comparison would probably be trying to do something over the CLI instead of through the Microsoft Store.

The inability to install Steam i can blame on PopOS. He could genuinely don’t know that you should update your system first. At the point when he typed yes, do as i say when i first watched i wanted to bang my head against my desk. He clearly didn’t read what was going to happen even when the system tried warning him.

As someone else said no it wasn’t installed though the software manger. It just failed to install though that way.

He went for a guide CLEARLY LABELED AS DANGEROUS MULTIPLE TIMES using the terminal with the “do as I say” command.

Tho this issue shouldn’t have happened, but it happened. And was blocked for a normal install.

He just forced it through a command.
