I've been using INDI/Ekos for years, first on Mac, then on Intel machines, most recently on pi4's running ubuntu-mate.

I just bought/downloaded/installed SM OS to support the developers and to try out the "convenience features" included in the OS.

So, what about customizability?

I'd like to change the default username (and home driectory, etc), for compatibility with all my other machines.

Will this break anything? How about uID, gID, permissions, groups, sudo permissions, etc?

Have i opened a can of worms?

Thank you!

Apparently this is a bad idea. There are lots of places with the username hard-coded. Sigh.

After several reinstalls, I'm "working within the system" to customize StellarMate OS to work as well as ubuntu-mate.

Hopefully the time and effort will pay off in the ability to use Ekos Live, the web controller, the app, etc.

Having a fair bit of trouble auto mounting network drives via gifs in stab, but I will pursue that with a different post.
