It's an old joke:
sudo = admin rights
rm = remove
fr = force recursive (the more popular syntax is
"rf" but for the joke its "fr" which looks like a short form for French)
/ * = C:\
It doesn't remove the French language pack, it removes the entire harddrive.
Tbf it does remove the french language pack.
And then some more.
I understood the joke after seeing the command. It was getting the command from the joke that lost me. Cause I'd never have tried removing a language pack like that to begin with.
