Why does it have to hang its tentacles on the home directory?


If we continue like this, soon Linux will have a "Registry" and "Registry Editor"

The article is pretty overblown, I suggest reading the upstream documentation.

Keep in mind, there’s nothing here that’s mandating that’s you use systemd-homed, this is to support portable home directories. Also, bringing up the Windows Registry is almost a trope for mailing lists at this point. 

Portable home directories (i.e. a homedir on a USB or network volume) are hard to do between systems that aren’t using a shared directory or mandated account data.  /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow are painful to manage for portable homedirs for users. I don’t agree with everything here but I think it’s an interesting new approach and I’m very interested in many of the user record features. 

I think it’s be awesome to be able to walk up to a system and plug in my USB key and have it securely handle my homedir and account information. I think security would be a complex issue to solve.
