Poettering: Revisiting how we put together Linux systems

I am also frustrated with the unwillingness of desktop developers to handle the shared-home-directory configuration. At least browsers refuse to run, but my experience has been that Bad Things happen if I run gnome on multiple computers using the same account with a NFS shared home directory.

Interestingly, if this plan were to take off, it might force desktop developers to be more considerate in what they do with your home directory, since at its essence the scheme uses a single home directory for multiple running operating systems.
