## Slim images

Using the install flag `--slim-images` will download and use slim Alpine based service containers. These images are smaller and more simplified yet retain the same functionality

Known application bugs:

* Gamepad passthrough is currently not functional. If enabled for a group, workspaces will not launch.

```{note}
This only effects the service containers running the Kasm Workspaces application, this flag has no effect on end user facing Workspaces.
```
