From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time getting the software running. I understand that this can be very frustrating.
As others have said, making yourself the owner of everything can cause numerous issues in the long run and there's a reason why most distributions DON'T make you root.
Why are you using Linux in the first place? I think sonarr and jackett both run on Windows as well.
Don't let the frustration get the best of you. If you really want to run those tools yourself, then dive into it (and all the technical issues that are part of it), but if you only want to have access to the functionality, you might want to look into a service that takes care of all the technical burden.
Good luck
