actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
no, I gave the full command, $USER is a global variable which gets replaced by
your username, so you dont have to worry about who you are logged in as.
Linux is a true multiuser system so provided you have the credentials you can
switch to other user names freely. Users don't want to have to think "wait,
what user name am I on right now"
So unix and linux have $USER $HOME and other nicety's. Windows has %PROFILE%
%ADMIN% %WINDIR% too which are synonymous.
The command is:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/games
which will translate to
sudo chown -R bean /usr/local/games
in the kernel when executed. Either of the above wiil work.
