+Kicksecure by default separates the regular user and the admin user on the boot option level, however for the clientside Host OS I don't think we need that separation, so we select the "remove user-sysmaint-split" boot option, to enable [the unrestricted admin mode](http://www.w5j6stm77zs6652pgsij4awcjeel3eco7kvipheu6mtr623eyyehj4yd.onion/wiki/Unrestricted_admin_mode):
