Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

I believe the fix was to change the ownership of a folder, but I changed the ownership of the system and then it wouldn't boot Linux.

Just realized I probably shouldn't have used the word "bricked".

Ah, well I assume that's what you meant by bricked 😁

Okay, I see. Weird how the system won't boot if some directory had the wrong owner. The root user should be able to see any file or directory. But maybe the system doesn't boot "as root", what do I know. 😅🤷‍♂️ (I actually don't know.)
