Absolutly!
Greate a separate user to "own" the binary and give it a separate group.
All users that shall be able to use the program and write to directorys that the
progam needs should be member of the programs group.
The *only* situation when a program *must* be root if it must be able to open
sockets lower than 1024.

My Nim editor https://github.com/ngtk3/NEd can be launced from the
directory with the binary by typing
./ned file.nim
For testing that is fine. But to make it work from an arbitrary
directory something like
# And for making gsettings available system wide one method is, as root
# https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/glib-compile-schemas.html
# echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
# /usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/usr/share/gdm
# cd /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas
# cp org.gtk.ned.gschema.xml .
# glib-compile-schemas .
#
# as root
cp nimdark1.xml /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/
cp nim.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/
is necessary as described in the doc. That is fine for myself, but I
can understand that other people fear to damage their system when doing
root actions.
Problem seems to be the gsettings path and additional the gtksourceview
directories. May there exist a way to make it work at least on Linux
without root privileges?
