Word to the unwise and the terribly unprogrammed; don’t change permissions on your deck

Long story short, I did something dumb like;

sudo su (Password) chown deck -r /

Don’t do it

Just

Don’t

You’ll change who owns Sudo And if 0 doesn’t own Sudo

Nobody does

    I mean sure, someone who runs that command shouldn’t permanently be logged in as root, but from a security standpoint it doesn’t really matter on a steamdeck. Doesn’t have any protection if someone else gets their hands on it anyways.
