the "wipe-linux" script didn't ask me if I wanted to continue #36

Hello !

I wanted to uninstall Asahi Linux (it's awesome, but I don't have enough space on my Mac right now so I will re-install it later) so I followed this

https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Partitioning-cheatsheet

I ran the "stupidly dangerous script" and it didn't ask for a confirmation. It said "Press enter twice if you really want to continue." but ran anyway without me doing anything. I'm not sure that's the correct behavior.

It didn't break anything on my setup so everything's fine, but maybe this should get fixed ?

Thanks, and keep up the good work ! :)

The read commands in that script won't function correctly if you pipe that script to sh If you really want that functionality to work, try either downloading the script first and then running it ie

curl -L https://alx.sh/wipe-linux -O
# or 
curl -L https://alx.sh/wipe-linux > wipe-linux
# and then run it
bash wipe-linux

Or...you could run it like this

bash <(curl -L https://alx.sh/wipe-linux)
