If you're really desperate, Gentoo will allow you to set up a Pi with whatever
username you want (actually, whatever everything you want, within the limitations
of running on a rather slow ARM SOC). I just set up a minimal install on a Pi3
so that I could use it as a NAS (in conjunction with the hard drive scavenged
from my old, deceased NAS), and the only non-root user on the system is not
named pi.
The catch, of course, is the need to set up distcc/cross-compiling/arm emulation
on a more powerful machine if you don't want to wait forever whenever you
install something.

Check permissions and ownership on files inside .trinity/share/config ,
particularly kdeglobals . They should be owner = your user,
group = your user, permissions = -rw------- (or -rw-r--r--) for
all the normal files.
Root works
very well. I could (and possibly will) create a new user,
but first I would like to understand what is not going right.

The pi installer cannot be defeated. I installed 5 times trying to get
the first user to be named me. I gave up, so on my pi, I am pi. The only
arm install I've found that lets you name the first user is armbian
stretch on an arm64. Its a genuine PITA on a 6 machine home network.
