NEVER run a command you don’t know the purpose of. That being said, “sfc” stands for “System File Checker.” It is a utility that can help restore corrupted windows files. sfc /scannow checks your protected files and restores corrupted files from a local cache. The process can take some time and you MUST let it finish it’s entirely.
In conclusion, this command is generally safe to run.
Always a good time until your repo mirror hasn’t fully synced everything so you get updated Nvidia driver but an older kernel so your video drivers don’t load.
That was a fun hour until I commented out a few mirrors and tried a different one.
Well, I try to understand why something is included. I’ve run arch for years (BTW), though my current computers are running Fedora and Debian. I won’t say I know everything about Linux or even installing it or booting it, but I do know more than I would if I just followed step by step.

Rm stands for remove
-fr stands for the French language
/ stands for your entire system
Don’t trust random internet strangers either
So it’s removing French from your system. Sounds like a useful tool on Linux if you don’t speak French! Be sure to run as sudo though
Don’t forget the
--no-preserve-rooteither. If you leave the roots intact, the French will just grow right backI prefer the 'ole $sudo dd -i /dev/random -o /dev/sda
Does it also remove the French language pack?
No idea.
lol. Someone never followed along in a linux tutorial. /j
did someone say
?
You know what Arch Wiki says, no partial updates
Yay -Syyu is a full update isn’t it?

It’s the same for me but I didn’t always know that much about linux.
