Torix, that's still true. Snaps restrict syscalls so tightly that switching users is not possible.
Is it possible to start tor with a non-root user directly (without using tor's user parameter to drop privileges)?
Yes, but you must pre-configure tor's directories with the correct user and permissions. Tor has strict requirements for private key security.
If this doesn't work, let us know: there have been bugs in this code in the past.
