So I’ve messed up by not formatting my partitions on installation and now things are buggy, dbus returns permission denied on starting is one of the prominent bugs at the moment

I would just start over before you get any more attached to it.
Just do the installation again…fixing the permissions maybe easy or extremely hard, depending on how far the problems go. And I don’t think you will learn much besides of how the chown command works.
Not with modern package management systems. In the pacutils package is the pacrepairfile tool that is specifically made for repairing file permissions https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacrepairfile.1
