chmod 700 [file] sets permissions so that only its owner can do anything to that file or directory, and that owner can do whatever they like to it.

chown -R [user]:[group] [dir] makes everything in that directory owned by that user and group.

chmod a+x /home like /u/Max_P and I both got to within a few seconds of each other and will probably fix your problem, allows every user to change directories into /home which is a prerequisite for anyone getting to /home/adelie.

The "700" and "755" are values in octal where the first digit represents what permissions the owner has, the next two digits what everyone else has. I tend to use those but probably "a+x" is a more sensible way to do the same thing.

oh... to add to my other suggestion:

sudo chmod 755 /home

I bet that's it.

The number of files in each. So all the right files are there I guess. Moving /home really shouldn't cause any problems so it was just a way to check for the unlikely case of that being somehow a problem.

/home/adelie: change directory failed: Permission denied

Means you don't have permission to cd to that dir for some reason. So when it happens do:

sudo chmod 700 /home/adelie
sudo chown -R adelie:adelie /home/adelie

so if you do 'ls -la /home/adelie | wc -l' and 'ls -la /home_new/adelie | wc -l' you get results that differ by exactly 1? idk, just a thing to check.

Can you confirm that confirm.txt is not in old home?

I don't know if you've tried it yet, but having recently installed 6.7.3 I noticed a whole lot of amdgpu fixes in the changelog. Maybe it will help?

That was much better than what I expected going in knowing only that it was a youtube video about the history of X. Informative and enjoyable.

A quick look at the documentation seems to indicate that they have not removed or officially deprecated the feature, only made it more complicated to configure it.

will finally ship with a DEB package for Debian-based distributions

That's good news for the more specifically Ubuntu-based distributions and their users. I trust that Debian will continue to build its own packages.

I don't really give a damn about why the developers of Vivaldi (and the others) chose not release it as free software. They made that choice long ago and have stuck with it. That's fine. It means I have no interest in their product, but to me it also means that discussion about it is out of place in an article with "free software" literally in the title in a forum called "linux" where the FSF definition of freedom should prevail.

telegram mega vivaldi spotify

A whole lot of words follow but if fucking Spotify is on your list of free software, all that indicates to me is that you've put a whole lot of work into failing to understand the concept of free software.

12% over four years? Damn. Somehow I had the impression that there'd been a significant increase.

Netflix revenue is up by roughly 60% in the same four years.
