I removed my permissions on my downloads folder using chmod.
can anyone help restore back to default?
Thanks!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So how i understood from the link it's that in those 4k all file names in that directory are stored. That space can grow if necessary but won't shrink automatically. So i assume that op has alot of files in that directory
I do have a lot of files in that directory…but music has more files and taking more space. Strange…
My reading was it wasn't based purely on number of files, but metadata related to files and stuff (idk what that is in ext4, but movies tend to be large and complex related to music). it's probably irrelevant because that's still a really small number on a modern hard drive.
Ahh yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for sharing the info!
