That’s a weird stance to take since the discussion was about file permissions, and there are absolutely ways around Windows protecting system files just like there are ways around Linux doing the same thing.
There are many reasons to criticize Microsoft, but making it difficult for users to fuck up system files isn’t one of them. Most users are of the “it’s a box filled with magic smoke” variety, and they need to be protected from themselves.
You don’t have to change your whole OS because you can’t access a file. I thought you Linux users knew how to use technology properly. But it seems you are “power users” instead.
To own something is to control it.
You clearly don’t have control, therefore you don’t own it, microsoft does. You can fix that by seizing the means of computation and install linux.
What the hell are you talking about? Permissions issues in Windows have absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft owning your files.
I’m not talking about just the files. I’m talking more generally.

I’m not sure what that has to do with my comment.
Or just … right click to change ownership…

Like I said to /u/entwine413 I am talking more generally, not just about literal files.
