Beginners • Re: Why is .config owned by root by default?

My main question on this thread was supposed to be why .config is owned by the root user by default on raspberry pi os lite? Its what causes these issues in the first place for me

Are you sure that on a fresh install the ~/.config file is owned by root. I would be very surprised. I would suspect that the .config doesn't exist until it is created and it may be owned by root because the first thing to run that created the .config directory was run as root.

If I have time I will check later.

You can fix this very easily. Assuming your user name is 'pi'.
