$ sudo find /home/rick -user root
/home/rick/.dbus

.sane is the Brother scanner package that had to be installed using sudo so Iām not concerned. gedit Iām not concerned about.
What about dbus stuff and .packages? Should this be an area of concern or does everyone have that when they repeat the search command I used?
