  • I also just saw your edit. Look into Linux ownership and permissions. chmod and chown are important commands to know how to use as a Linux system administrator.

    Running sudo chown -R user:user ./drive in /mnt will give your user account ownership of that directory and all folders inside of it.

    Make sure you replace user with your username and drive with the name of the mount point for the drive.

    Free software can be freely copied, modified, distributed, etc. This doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay for it.

    Open source software has its source code published. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re able to copy some or all of it, modify it, distribute it, etc.

    It’s getting more and more common that, even in cases where code is open source, only part of the codebase is actually available. This is something that Microsoft (and other wealthy tech companies) loves to do to show that it’s “transparent.”
