You can't cd or ls in a folder if you have no +x permissions on it. That is all. I wasted 3 hours of my life.

A friend of mine told me a long time ago: "if a windows system is behaving funny, it has to do with virus. If a Linux system is behaving funny, it has to do with permissions"

Not always true. Sometimes, it's a driver issue. (Usually, a reinstall can fix the issue.) Or it could, very rarely, even be a BIOS/ UEFI issue. (Don't touch it unless you know what you're doing, and only download updates from your manufacturer's website.)

And if a network is having problems, it has to do with DNS.

Windows permissions are way more complex than Linux though, unless you're using Linux ACLs. Standard Linux permissions just have read, write, and execute permissions for the user, group, and world. Windows (and Linux ACLs) allow any number of different users or groups to have different permissions.
