The rage is real

Just use 'sudo'. Oh wait... Oh. I'm sorry.

@cyborganism is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
E: I'm so unoriginal. Happy holidays everyone.
- I sing the alt text of this comic to myself at least four times a year.
- login root
There's sudo for windows but its actually just administrator
- Yes, you can install it with winget to make your job in the terminal easier.
Windows has sudo now, lmao
laughs in games (that others actually play)
...too soon? :p
- Too late, games work fine now.
- Laughs in proton supremacy and skipping rootkit garbage :p
- I've actually started playing all my games in Linux recently thanks to Steam and Proton and it's been amazing so far with very little trouble. I can't believe how easy and how well it plays.
- Fires up my Steamdeck
  You're at least half a decade late, son.
- i'll take a lack of a gaming addiction over ms spyware anyday

That's why I log in as root and edit all files to have open permissions. Next I disable all security settings and kernel security mitigations.

After that my system is finally mine.

our system is finally ours
- You can't spell 'yours' without 'ours', comrade.
sudo chmod -R a+rw /
- I'm picturing all the services complaining their keys are insecure, their configs are insecure
- What does the a+rw part does? I guess the r is for recursively changing the permissions.
Russia: "Da, comrade, all yours."

If you install the right tools, even Windows can't stop you. If all else fails, get a terminal as TrustedInstaller and lay waste to your system.

You don't need additional tools, all of that is baked into Windows.
It is just a little hidden because they don't want non-tech users to accidentally delete system files.
Been a while since I touched windows but from what I remember, anything you modify/delete as TrustedInstaller gets reverted back every update.

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

cracks the blinds to look for agents outside

- Laughed way too hard at this

Well, I guess you really don't own it then. Own your computer, use *nix. Whichever flavor you like, and Linux is going to be the most frendly.

Linux: "This incident will be reported"
- I think that shit goes on your permanent record
- I always get nervous when my personal computer tells me this. I'm like reported to who, sudo?!?
As if *nix doesn't have file permissions? I see this more on my *nix systems than anything else lmao.
- so 755 that muthafuck?
- I'm not going to lie that's never really been an issue for me. (I have root)
- You see it because on GNU/Linux (and other *nixes) you have good reason to get at protected files if you administer the machine, and because you forget to sudo things
  Where Windows rarely needs proof the current user is still authorised
I tried yesterday. The install got stuck at detecting file system and after a few hours I gave up.
- I'm sorry that happened to you, I wish I was there to just fix it.
  Sounds like you didn't create a file system, or the creation of the file system fucked up.
  I hope it goes better for you next time. You'll get it and once you do, it's GLORIOUS.
Don't use Mac OS. Just stick with Linux.
- It's just an old mac laptop, don't get excited.
  Debian for life

sudo

User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
- That bastard checks logs me has been fucking around with my NAS again...
  No wonder it doesn't work right now!
Sudo my ass

Lemme guess: Windows, hunh?

In windows you can just update the security settings and do anything you want with it.
It is a feature not a bug, that regular non-tech users can't just go about deleting their System32.
- I feel like Windows lacks some sort of switch that would clearly identify you as an advanced user allowed to do everything.
  May be hidden as a flag in the registry, even.
linux has the same gile ownership system, maybe even less advanced than windows (windows file perms are unnecessarily convoluted)
- True, but in Linux is pretty trivial to change the ownership (or just use "sudo" if that's sufficient. Windows it takes longer to do these things.
- My only hickup is SElinux, otherwise the permission system on linux is annoying but admin friendly minus stuff like /dev/mem always being denied and libfuse understanding and miscommunicating the risks of the "allow users (with correct permissions) to access another user's fuse partition" setting. (And its not user privicy, its DOS prevention)

Windows gives a permission error if you try to delete or edit a file that's being executed. It has no complaints about moving it though.

This. Sometimes it just doesn't tell you that shit is still running in the background
That'd be fine, though? Not an OS expert but if you move it, the computer knows where it goes any can pause and read/writes and utilize RAM for it's in-use version. But if it tries the same thing when you deleted it, it's going to have nowhere to put the results of whatever it's doing. Also if the computer is just reading a file, it may assume you might not want to delete it.

  It's more like it doesn't actually go anywhere on-disk; only the tag in the filesystem pointing to it changes. I'm pretty sure once the program has an open file handle, it doesn't care about the path anymore anyway.

sudo !!

I get this at my job too. "Acess denied, please contact the IT administrator" bitch I AM the IT administrator!

Just use linux with only a root account, surely nothing bad will happen

sudo chown -R me:me / && chmod -R 0777 /
- That might do a number on /dev.

Wait till you hear about how much you own your ios lol

Ha! Finally a "Hercules" meme.

That was what gave me the final push to switch from Windows to GNU/Linux

Worst when you plug in an external drive on Linux and the user the files belong to is different so it doesn't let you access it.

IMO, the rule should be that the user who mounts specifically a removable drive should have complete access to it regardless of existing file permissions, or, meeting in the middle, maybe have a command that requires sudo, which will grant complete access to the drive, something like sudo takeover-volume /mnt/usbdrive so you don't have to sudo every single command that needs a file without your name on it. (I'm aware you can also just use sudo chown -R you /mnt/usbdrive but I think there should be a way to let a user access everything in a drive without changing the actual ownership.)

I think most Linux filesystems have a mount option that overrides the user and group of the mounted files.

I MADE YOU! I CAN DESTROY YOU!!
