-yes is this because I'm testing the distro off of a USB?
If the files are 'your' files, then you should have read write access, so again more details needed.
-do you mean 'your' files happens only after a full installation?
If the files aren't user files, then a typical user won't have write permission by default.
File permissions in linux are there for solid reasons, but there are many good articles if you want to read up.
-can I disable permissions restrictions permanently?
Search for something like "ubuntu file permissions explained"
I'm a very green newbie here, so while testing Zorin (eventhough it isn't LL but its still Ubuntu) apt.conf.d​ does it not give me access because I'm in test mode and it says I'm not an owner, but after installation I will have access to write files, I will be that owner after installation I assume? I wanted to attach a pic I took with my phone camera but there are too many limitations to do that here.
