Mount usb with user access
The most common approach (though a bit different) to get write access for users is probably using udisks[1]/udiskie[2] which use udev and polkit [3]. udiskie even supports luks unlocking [4].

How to mount LUKS encrypted USB storages (and HDDs inserted to hot swappable drive bay) automatically when connected? The machine is running headlessly, does not have desktop environments installed.
https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie looks close, but does it work without desktop environments? Is there alternatives to udiskie that doesn't require desktop environments and supports unlocking LUKS encrypted volumes?

Automount luks encrypted external USB drive?
Based on https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/blob/master/doc/udiskie.8.txt and https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/issues/66#issuecomment-289204539, you probably need to create a configuration for the encrypted hard disk in the file ~/.config/udiskie/config.yml. For example, as follows.

New to wm, I choose i3-gaps, any suggestions?
For example, I typically ran things like lxpolkit, nm-applet, redshift, udiskie and xfce4-power-manager when I used i3.

I3wm - How to get notified for an external device being connected?
By running udiskie in your i3 session, for example.

This. There is also udiskie, a GUI tool with notification icon, support for unlocking encrypted partitions, powering off USB devices, and so on.

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

How do I change default image and video interpreter program through environment variables for nnn file manager ? (Asking herre bc r/linuxquestions doesnt allow posts)
You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
