entire debian running in root mode only?

[jindam-vani]

mousepad complains about running in root mode.
it might ceate issues in future. if possible,
run in normal mode.

Currently there's no plan to make the distro start as normal user, however you can do this yourself by creating a normal user and switch to it.

i can create adduser username. by default it boots in root mode. is it possible to start as normal user from root mode?

Edit start-debian.sh, and change all /root to your new user home directory, for example: /home/user . You can also switch user after starting distro by running: su - username

I have the same issue with Arch. It only has root and after adding a regular user does not work well:
