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 I've messed up by not formatting my partitions on installation and now things are buggy, dbus returns permission denied on starting is one of the prominent bugs at the moment

It was only the root of the partitions that I messed up, and I guess the bugs were caused because the Mint live boot only gave the user read permissions (no group or others can read) so I believe shit is fine, plus it's a fresh installation so there's that too
