Often a Linux computer is used by different users. So there is a possibility that these users access a common group of files. This opens the door to problems like accidental deletion or editing of important files, which you as an administrator definitely don't want.

for the question:
Q1. How to use chattr command?
Suppose you want to make a file read-only. So all you have to do is to run the chattr command with +i option and the name of the file as input.
For example:
chattr -i test.txt
I think the commad shoud be: chattr +i test.txt
