This might cause some issues, especially when using external drives due to
file owner permissions,
because most of the time the user UID is 1000 if you use your computer
exclusively.
------------------------------
This is a valid concern; as a user who is planning on installing Mint/LMDE
to many computers, I am glad to know about this and that it is being
addressed.
Thank you rlbxku1r.

The installer creates internal
oemuser with UID 1000, so that the actual user created at later setup gets UID 1001.This might cause some issues, especially when using external drives due to file owner permissions,
because in most cases the user UID is 1000 (as long as you don't share your computer with others).
