It's actually just an issue with Docker.

Container technology (and the Linux namespaces behind it) support the ability to run containers as non-root by translating the user with a namespace.

It just seems like container like system would fix so many issues with Desktop Linux if it ran on metal. I also like the idea of a Git type system that installed everything to a folder.
