If I wanted Windows perms I would have installed Windows

    Windows perms are pretty locked down though. Sometimes I can't delete my own files because I need permission from "Administrator" :/

    You can actually use Windows-style permissions (ACLs) on Linux via setfacl.

    If only...

    Those are POSIX acls, and they suck

    We could have had NFSv4 ACL, of which windows ACLs are a subset. In fact, every other unix os did... Except for Linux, they decided it didn't fit well to Linux. And so we are stuck with UGO permissions, and posix ACLs.
