# This will soften the security of these dotfiles, allowing
# the default unpriveleged user with UID/GID of 1000 to edit ALL FILES
# in the dotfiles directory

# This mainly is just here to be used by some scripts

# Run this inside of ~/.dotfiles (or whatever directory you installed
# the dotfiles to)

# Run this as root!

# BTW, this assumes your user account has a UID/GID of 1000

# After running this, YOUR UNPRIVELEGED USER CAN MAKE EDITS TO
# IMPORTANT SYSTEM FILES WHICH MAY COMPROMISE THE SYSTEM AFTER
# RUNNING nixos-rebuild switch!
