gollark: Well, you can use a password lock if you're weird and like that. Otherwise, nothing except userdata wipe, which is also mostly for weird/silly people.

gollark: Anyway, PotatOS features- sandboxing to /potatOS/- easy copying to disks- updating from disks/tapes- auto-update program- userdata wipe program for removing poorly programmed virii- `fortune`, `chuck`, `norris`, `dwarf` commands, because why not- occasionally prints backwards, messes with palette- password lock
