‘sudo’ controls access rights, so it’s effectively like Windows admin rights. People typically wouldn’t be allowed to use sudo unless they own the system or are some kind of system administrator (like in a workplace).
The ‘rm’ is the remove function, or deleting files or folders.
‘-rf’ are two options you can specify with the ‘rm’ part. The ‘-r’ part means recursive, and effectively confirms that you do in fact want to delete a directory (folder). Normally rm would not, and rmdir I think only works on empty directories. The ‘-f’ option forces removal of all items without any prompts for confirmation for individual items found for removal.
Then the ‘/*’ is the file and or directory path you want to remove. In this case it’s the top of the system. The entire statement is essentially a joke about a full delete of your computer.
These are unix/linux terminal actions.
