I was just joking around, I hope you didn’t take it too personally. I’ve been hearing a lot of KDE enthusiasm lately.

And xfce is great, but it has its pitfalls.

I also get excited about projects, I’m no different.

I have a surface pro 6 and I love it.

You should, however, mention that the cameras do not work (yet), which makes this a no-go as a full laptop replacement.

Good stuff!

I just vi the systemd/system/fancyname.service files father than use systemd edit, but I think the result is the same.

There are two configs you can add to the [service] directive:

user=someuser

This should allow you to run the service under the credentials of your choosing.

Remember to systemctl daemon-reload after making changes to unit files.

That is not normal. I have much the same setup, sabnzbd, Plex, jellyfin, sonar, radar. They all run under a particular user and their /opt and /var/lib folders don’t ‘revert’ to their old ownership and permissions.

Either something is watching those folders and setting permissions, or some kind of immutability is in play, but permissions normally don’t revert like that.

to hell with it

You don’t know what you’re asking for here.

That’s usually the implication.
