Windows moment
Not necessarily. Linux can have files that are r---r---r--- too
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /* && sudo chmod -R 777 /*alias iownyou='sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /* && sudo chmod -R 777 /*'Now I've learned enough to know that I can easily learn what all that apparent gibberish does with the "man" command, but you have no idea how unbelievably unapproachable this makes Linux look to the uninitiated.
Create one command "iownyou" that does tbe following: Change the owner of every file on the computer to the default user and make every file readable, writeable, an executable by anyone or anything on the computer. It may not be secure, but on the bright side, you'll never have permission issues again!
Until you realize you just screwed up whatever services you may be running that require specific permissions on specific files. Certificates specifically come to mind for my environment.
Then don't mess with things you don't understand? I don't see how this relates to gui vs cli.
You don’t have to use the cli. But it’s nice to have the option if you want to.
This isn't all that different from using CMD on windows. Except that it works better, obviously.
I use:
alias thisfolderismine='sudo chown -R $USER' alias thisfileismine='sudo chown $USER'
Then you sudo chmod. Windows I have to do weird shit with the properties context menu. And even that sometimes doesn't work. I run commands in powershell as Administrator. Still doesn't work.
Fuck Windows.
That’s just because Linux is designed for end users so everything is intuitive and easy. Windows is designed for tech nerds that like digging through pages to make anything work
Did you accidentally switch those? Windows is clearly for protecting end users so us tech nerds need to jump through bullshit.
As someone who has used both; Linux is infinitely easier for an idiot
It is also possible to make a file "immutable" such that even
sudo rm -fwill fail
Me, realizing I can't delete Edge because the OS assumes it's installed
