    I’m just learning Linux so I literally Googled the easiest version and installed Ubuntu. I can’t even figure out folder permissions. I’m in over my head, but at least I’m also getting made fun of.

      You will learn, it just takes time, even those fanboys didn’t know anything about chmod when they started, and some of them install Arch and end up running back to windows because they started on hard mode.

      Just use the distro that fits your needs.

      Dude, I’ve been messing with this stuff for a decade and permissions still get me sometimes. If something is breaking, always do a check on permissions. It’s often the issue.
