Cool. Does ACL support also depend on the filesystem?
- Yeah, but I think all reasonably-modern Unixy filesystems on Linux will support ACLs. ext2/3/4, btrfs, xfs, zfs, jfs, etc.
- Yes. Some filesystems straight up do not support ACL of any kind (eg: fat32)
  
  Fat32 doesn't support regular file permissions either, right? I was under the impression that it was permissionless.
  
  You are entirely correct, it has no permission system to speak of
  
  I'll speak of it anyway: There's a "Read-only" bit on every file/directory and The User (there's only one!) can change it for any of them at any time.
