Luckily, you weren't root and you didn't use sudo or doas, so
what came back was
rm: failed to remove '/': Permission denied
But sometimes that happens. All we can do is not make it
extremely easy for people to do terrible things by accident
because it looked like a good thing to do.
And people learn from experience, but it's really hard to learn
from experience when the mistake you made happened six days ago
as you tried to install a great game you read about, and now
your ISP has shut your connection off.
