Info question:
In Arch, whenever I run a program with noroot in the profile I get the following message:

Warning: noroot option is not available

Any idea why that is? It's a pretty vanilla Arch system (if there is such a thing 😜 ). This is my system info:

Arch doesn't compile user namespace support in the kernel, so this is why you'll get a warning.
