Mayhaps, but you can also do this:

sudo chown me /usr/lib

(doesn't 'usr' mean 'universally shared resources'?)

I thought it stood for userspace? Like all the non-kernel-mode applications?

It was about machine-local shit vs shit that can be loaded from NFS for all machines in the fleet. Many distros symlink /bin and /usr/bin together

su root

cd ~

chown * root

mv usr/ussr/ usr/gulag/

cd usr/gulag/

touch treason.txt

touch you_and_siberia_and_stalin.txt

chown usr/gulag/ 111

Because that's the home of root the su command is used to switch user

Root's home has been /root on every distro I've ever used ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Consumer distros vs enterprise systems would be my guess I'm from the RHEL branch

But "/root" has kinda always been the root user's home directory, not the root directory /.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

It hasn't. That's a fairly recent (1990's) innovation.
