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.

Why? I chowned and chmod the mount points only (not recursively) and now the system is functioning correctly
Use the pacrepairfile utility and you can set them to the distro shipped permissions easily https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacrepairfile.1
For now, as far as you know.
I can't see a reason for it to fail since the root user was functioning just fine, shit got buggy as soon as other users tried to read from the fs
Not sure about what permission changes you did, but my system has various permissions depending on the files or folders, so a general recursive change may give you a functioning system, but with broken security
i didn't change permissions recursivly, only for the mountpoints root
