Word to the unwise and the terribly unprogrammed; don’t change permissions on your deck

Long story short, I did something dumb like;

sudo su (Password) chown deck -r /

Don’t do it

Just

Don’t

You’ll change who owns Sudo And if 0 doesn’t own Sudo

Nobody does

    To be real chief, I was trying to circumvent “most” permissions by doing said thing. I wanted to drag and drop freely wherever I wanted.

    (I was trying to add Krita shit to pykrita)

    Turns out, no, you don’t and should not own the entire file system.
