Description

It looks like the common-utils sets the username differently in the universal image than it does in the base image (at least for Ubuntu. vscode vs codespace. I think this complicates certain things like building new codespace configurations on top of these existing ones, maybe it's intentional, but 🤷‍♂️. Can we pick one and be good at it? 🙂🍻
