I also consider myself a Linux-noob, so I have no idea of best/recommended
approach, my solution in such cases is opening terminal and executing "sudo
nautilus" (it will prompt for Your password). It will open a file manager
window with a root access, which allows moving/copying etc files also in
system folders, where I usually get only read-only access.
