Something I did (notice I'm not blaming those dammed developers) has caused my Home folders on both my ASUS/Neon and my ACER/Kubuntu laptops to be owned by root. I was having problems with some backup scripts not running and got a sneaky suspicion about root overstepping its bounds so I checked ownership and lo and behold. The easiest solution I found was to load a sudo version of Midnight Commander and change ownership that way. Not sure what I did to cause this in the first place but something I will keep an eye on in the future.

/home/ or /home/username?
The former is correct to be owned by root.

Sigh! The more I learn the more I forget. Sometimes I feel like I am going around in circles.
