    the few times Ive seen perms really go awry was from new users running sudo on everything, even wine. definitely took a fair bit of cleanup

      Can’t exectly remember how or where but I had some chmod 777 -R going on on my setup on the wrong directory and everything seemed fucked up !

      Was easier to fresh install instead of hunting some permission issue… Learned from that experience and still learning something new with perms on Linux !

    Understanding chmod and chown are foundational knowledge to actually being able to call oneself a “Linux user”. Great video!
