Don't even try installing steam or you loose all your gpu drivers and stuff.
I think that mainly happens if your name is Linus Sebastian.
A living proof how apt can be dangerous.
A living proof how typing a full, punctuated sentence and then pressing enter without reading the warning prompt after getting an error from the GUI store can be dangerous. So don't do drugs kids.
Technically, using a modern CPU is a security risk. (Intel's Management Engine & AMD's Platform Security Processor)
If you delete the file vmlinuz your OS could also get destroyed.
That's the exact reason why I run TempleOS, it is immune to this known critical vulnerability because it does not have a vmlinuz file.
THE OS THAT GOD INTENDED
I can't even begin to describe how little sense that makes.
Backup that file, and the whole OS will be safe.
NixOS cant build if there is no file. this means NixOS will roll you back to the last working generation where you can regenerate the file and fix the issue easly
