The home directory

Project Discussion

On Fedora Silverblue, the value of the $HOME variable is /var/home/mysuer.
On Fedora Kinoite it is the classic /home/myuser. But only for the user created during the installation process.
Indeed, if I create a new user, its home will be /var/home/newuser

$ cat /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
myuser:x:1000:1000:myuser:/home/myuser:/bin/bash
newuser:x:1001:1001:newuser:/var/home/newuser:/bin/bash

Not a big problem, /home is a symlink to /var/home, but it is a discrepancy.

Thanks for the report. I’ll try to replicate the issue and will make a bug/issue to track it.
