what restrictions do we have on coder usernames? Is it a subset of the valid Linux usernames?

I'm actually not sure here. I could change it to "coder" to be safe

Ok, so a little googling: Linux usernames can have uppercase, lowercase, digits, hyphens and underscores -- we restrict our usernames to this minus the hyphens, so all good on character set. However, Linux usernames can only be 32 characters long, at least in some flavors/system utilities and we allow unlimited. I think it's fine to just truncate if the name is too long.

Cool, thanks for looking into this. Usernames are now truncated, if longer than 32 characters using Terraform's substr. If usernames are shorter, nothing happens
This runs the aws-linux template as a non-root user and resizes to support JetBrains Gateway.
50% of the way there for #2179.
code-server support is trivial (I have done it in https://github.com/bpmct/coder-templates/tree/main/aws-spot), but we need to host the IDE icon statically as well, like this example: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/app#example-usage
