Changing /home/user to /var/home/user
This issue affects nearly all of the atomic variants using the Anaconda installer. Silverblue is not affected, however Kinoite, Sway, Ublue images seem to set user's home dir to /home/user instead of /var/home/user
How important is it and is it recommended to change the path in /etc/passwd or should it be ignored?

In that regard, we prefeer to stick to upstream behavior if possible. Only issues I have seen so far is certain programs being confused with /home being a symlink, though is solved by either using an absolute path (under /var/home) or requesting the developer to normalize the path (akin to running
realpath /home in bash)1 Reply
