- Understanding chmod and chown are foundational knowledge to actually being able to call oneself a “Linux user”. Great video! - Understanding chmod and chown are foundational knowledge to actually being able to call oneself a “Linux user” - I gotcha, - sudo chmod -R 777 /*, where we’re going we don’t need permission.- Careful! This is very dangerous, you should instead do - sudo chown -R user:user /*- Where “user” is your username, and then do - chmod -R 770 /*- This will make sure that only your user has all the access! - (Don’t do this) 
 
 
- 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 -Rgoing 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 ! 
 
- A video for something basic which can be explained in a few sentences… Won’t watch that shit, future is doomed… - Many people are illiterate. How many of them are trying to run Linux, I don’t know. 
- Okay doomer.
