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 ๐
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. ๐ ๐คทโโ๏ธ (I actually don't know.)
