F-ing up myself is part of my routine. I always rm files that I don't mean to (obviously not always but it happens). So I think it would be nice to have separate 'delete' permission. With that I could protect my files from accidental 'rm's. What's your opinion

Yeah, there are a dozen "trash" commands. Honestly, I think changing muscle memory would be safer, but they could just install one of the trash commands and set up an alias as you say.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
