Continuing report of @AlbertMN here:
#276 (comment)
It seems that the userless new setup breaks fullpageos if the username is changed.

In case someone else needs a quick fix for the "unable to launch "/home/pi/scripts/start_gui" X session"-error: I had created a user 'myuser' in the pi imager. After the first boot I added a user called 'pi' manually and copied the folder /home/myuser/scripts to /home/pi/scripts. Then I did a chmod pi:pi /home/pi -Rand rebooted, now everything works.

Faced same issue.

This worked(kind of) for me. Had to do chown instead of chmod

Also started having a go at fixing this. Needs changes both in CustomPiOS and FullPageOS. I think I got the CustomPiOS side for now

i fixed mine just by creating a link,
sudo ln -s /home/$(whoami) /home/pi

and from memory edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and change auto login from pi to your username

I did a fresh install today from raspberry pi imager. The full quick fix I did was to just make the directory for pi and then symlink to the actual file in my user's home directory. change some permissions, reboot.

mkdir -p /home/pi/scripts
ln -s /home/USER/scripts/* /home/pi/scripts/
chown -R USER:USER /home/pi/scripts

Obviously an easier work around would be to just use pi as the user when going through the setup. But if you're like me, you have a username that you use for all your other devices and don't want to be adding more :)
