Hi there, I’m on Bazzite KDE and recently somehow lost a my “gaming” folder…? No idea how but must gave been user faulty, e.g me. Therefore wondering if it’s possible to lock certain folders so that this cannot accidentally happen?

    I don’t believe it’s possible to have an immutable directory where you can still modify the contents

    Not directly under that directory, but you can modify directories under it. Attributes only apply to the directory’s own alocation table and child directories have their own tables.

    Also you can modify the content of the files in the directory. The attributes only refer to removing or adding files or other operations that modify the directory’s table.
