Systemd-Homed Merged As A Fundamental Change To Linux Home Directories

[NotMine999]

I don't see Poettering adding support for a non-native Linux filesystem unless someone else does it.

Lennart merging something like that? Time for a new Github tag ... "WONTMERGE"

About as organized as a shotgun blast ...

Lol that's a classic.

Windows always handled roaming profiles much better than Linux, so yes please.

Cause who doesn't want more features.

The point there is hiding porn inside a bunch of nested folders, in case you missed it.

Gone are the days of "tar it up, copy it over, untar it"

Not at all. In fact systemd-homed makes that solution more robust.

Good thing system-D home-D is finally taking charge.

Typing "tar -zcvf home.tar.gz /home/user" and "tar -zxvf home.tar.gz" is far too difficult.

Who could ever manage something so difficult without a 21,000 line chunk of code to do it for you?

In a meritocracy one does not reject interesting or good ideas out of hand just because some were first seen in Windows (or MacOS, or some other differently licensed *IX). While integrated home directly management is not something someone with one or two systems might care about, for larger enterprises it can be a huge plus to have a world wide accessible file system for such things (something that AFS has offered for many decades).

debianxfce could.
