Cool, I'm looking forward to seeing what functionality this new component can enable. I don't fully understand the purpose, but lettuce sea before we cast it out.

Today:
1.) "Shit my new drive is here, ugggh i have carefully move my home directory or i have to reconfigure all my userspace data"
2.) "Goddam i put my gpg keys on a pendrive but forgot to copy my .ssh files, damn it what was my public key again??"
Tomorrow:
just export the damn encrypted blob to a pendrive and have your damn user/home folder/configurations anywhere as long as you have systemd 244+ installed.
Actually i'm really looking forward for homed, since i would love to have all my PCs with the same configurations instead of my today rsync scripts

I can't wait until doing anything with home directories requires using systemd. Right now we can change a user's home directory with one simple command. Systemd should add an extra command to that process. Even better would be systemd creating a link to a folder so we cant actually see where our home directory is and if we want to do an ls of a directory, we will need to use some journalctl flag.

Just asking.
Maybe systemd aims to replace GNU Core Utilities and other stuff with modernized replacements...?Last edited by timofonic; 20 September 2019, 01:16 PM.

Personally, I prefer the systemd way of standardizing methods we've used for 20 years so instead of having to run 12 individual commands we just run one systemd command. I might not agree with or like how they're doing everything, but, on the whole, systemd is making more things easier and better than it's making things harder and crappier, so rock on, Lennart. Do your thing.
