I'm pretty sure that +x is not set for everybody in home. Just cause you don't want that anybody can see what folder you have. If you want have have a pokemon subfolder of anime, nobody else need to now this. So, for me, +x have not to be set.
With the +x right on a folder you only give the right to pass through this directory, not to see the content of this directory $ mkdir foo $ touch foo/test1 $ touch foo/test2 $ ls foo test1 test2 $ chmod a-r foo $ ls foo ls: cannot open directory foo: Permission denied $ echo "Hello" > foo/test1 $ cat foo/test1 Hello
But doesn't seem to be the case for my home directory... Hopefully, it's my laptop, not a shared computer.
