Note to future readers: deleting gnu library for C and C++ used by the Kernel, and deleting its dependencies, recursively, could potentially prevent your operating system from utilizing your CPU, and will absolutely cause problems with any Linux install, which is sort of a bad idea.

Don't let the haters win! alt + F4 is the shortcut for putting your computer into a special alternative mode that makes it run at 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

the kernel itself does not depend on glibc. that is ridiculous. if it did, it would not be able to mount the root filesystem, since the glibc it needed to do so would be on the filesystem it was about to mount.

what does depend on glibc is virtually every other program on the system, including systemd.

the kernel would boot but it would not get much farther than that. the kernel would start systemd as pid 1, systemd would try to load glibc and fail, systemd would exit, and the kernel would immediately panic because pid 1 died

This probably doesn't work. Many packages will have glibc as a dependency and pacman doesn't break that unless you tell it to (IIRC pacman -Rdd)

Doesn't it autocomplete? I mean, not if it's an argument for sudo, obviously, but my terminal starts in interactive mode anyway, so that's rarely an issue

Why not if it's for sudo, can't sudo just redirect the auto complete to ask based on the command after sudo?

I don't know, to be honest; I'm not deeply familiar with its workings. I just know that I made a habit of running a command "dry" without sudo, both because not everything should be done with superuser privileges* and because it's a way to make sure I get the syntax right, then if it does need sudo, I repeat it with sudo.

*Which is why sudo -i (the interactive mode) is a dangerous tool that shouldn't actually be your default mode of working
