I've been trying to switch to Linux for 30 years now and am still trying to figure out permissions. Best of luck!
Can't have permission issues if you
777everythingI did that one time, it turns out that if everything is 777 major faults will occur due to security measures (see: sudo not working anymore)
You get a rwx!
You get a rwx!
You get a rwx!
Does that make it crash into an ocean? /s
Permissions is my favorite cheese. I enjoy some on my pasta dinner every night I get the chance to. Some days Im like 750 with my permission, maybe even 755 when we got guests over, but when I'm feeling hungry i bring out the 700 permission cheese
Hmm, is James Bond fully accessible to others but not himself or his family/friends?
If you figured out how logging into any site works, you can figure out permissions. Claiming that after "trying to switch" for 30 years and still are unable to figure out permissions means either you are lying or not trying to switch. And mind you not wanting to use it or not trying to switch is fine, but making mountains out of mole hills is just disingenuous.
And you're fine with Windows permissions?
