gollark: It, um, teaches you not to trust any OSes?
gollark: Not even Windows is this crazy… yet.
gollark: PotatOS is actually unique and quite complex.
gollark: Just run `uninstall` and find the prime factors of a 11-digit semiprime!
gollark: I would recommend keeping the potatOS bit, especially since you can easily* uninstall it now.
