The article is describing a solution, but can anyone describe the problem or an article discussing it? I'm having trouble coming up with use cases where this is the best solution.

- jackewiehose 7y agoI still don't get it. The goal is to have your $HOME-directory on an usb-stick and use it on different computers? That would require having the same software versions installed on every system. But even then it wouldn't work because the user-settings stored in $HOME might depend on the hardware, e.g. monitor setup etc.
- silon42 7y agoMonitor setup is already a problem, I regularly switch between laptop screen, 1 monitor, 2 monitors or a TV.
- hottycat3 7y agoI think this is not for private users but for companies where the same or similar software and hardware configuration is used across systems.
- catalogia 7y agoUsually in configurations like that, the org likes having the ability to scan user home directories at will, for a variety of reasons. In my experience in those kind of networks, home directories are often on a centralized NFS/CIFS server.
