That should be under the look&feel entry of your user settings. Don't know the
actual name, as my UI is in french.

About 20 years ago was a distro named Mandrake Linux. It was a great distro for
the desktop. With it came a GUI to do user management, yet nowadays I find it
strange that there is no unified GUI to do just that.

There is, however, a package that install such tools. It is called
gnome-system-tools. Don't be fooled by the name, it is somewhat independent from
gnome. Once installed, if it's not already present, you should find a new entry
in the "system" menu of your applications menu called something like "Users and
Groups". From there you can add or remove users as you see fit.

Installing i386 dependencies isn't an issue on debian/devuan either. You'll just
have to specify that you need to 32bit version when using apt, like `apt install
some-package-name:i386'.
