Can someone explain what this command does?
find
Bad Things ® ™.  It's (almost) the equivalent of sudo rm -rf / - it will, as root, find all files or directories starting from / and recursively descending from there, and then execute the rm command against each file/directory it finds. It won't actually delete directory entries as there's no -f or -r options passed to rm, but it will remove all the file entries.Hint: don't run this unless you feel like reinstalling your operating system.
