Permissions inconsistently being enforced

[unique lotus]

I'm legitimately unsure what's even causing this, but permissions seem to be randomly messing up, affecting Wine, Filelight, and other applications, despite there being no reason why this should happen. Randomly, apps won't be able to read/write to /home/, but if you try it a second later, it works fine.

Unless you use SELinux or a sandboxing method, anything running under your user can rw to home, along with everything else your user has access to

Basically any apps can do anything you can do with apps or shell

wine can’t (but only sometimes), but dolphin can
i don’t use selinux nor any sandboxing

exacly what is happening with when wine cant access it?

wine just won’t open. no errors or anything (sometimes, however, the apps will give an error, like the EA app’s installer, which explicitly says it didn’t have permission to write to the prefix’s program files directory)
