Then why do you say “Effect no su, no sudo no root login and …” when you was root?
In any case the only thing is either recovery from your system backup, or a reinstall from scratch.
There is no way you know exactly what the permissions og all the thousands of files that might be involved, should be.

and, hmmmmmmmmmm wouldn’t it also change all in the system which the
executing user already had write capability to (not that i know if any
might exist outside of /home/[executingUser])?
and, i recognize i may not know what i am talking about…therefore
these are questions, not statements of ‘fact’…
suggest no one try to find out, unless you intend to do purposeful
damage that is difficult to impossible to undo.

That is not the system, that is the users own bussiness (where he can ask the system manager for a restore to the latest backup if he decides he needs it). But the OP is clearly talking about his system files/programs.
