@nuintari I used silverblue for a long time, and I think its convention of /var/home makes the most sense. After all, your user folder is sort of like your own personal database.
@neonutopia /var is technically for temporary and transient files, at least according to hier(7) on FreeBSD. There is nothing temporary about most of my $HOME.

@WhyNotZoidberg @nuintari
You mean C:\HOME? Or is it B:\HOME?That was how it was written on the OS that couldn't handle spaces.
@leeloo @WhyNotZoidberg That isn't an OS, that is the most successful computer virus of all time.

@nuintari huh, OK. I guess I see a lot of databases there anyway, but maybe its the databases that are not in the right place.

@neonutopia Yeah, the fact that most databases end up there is more likely because they don't really fit anywhere when you literally follow hier(7).
And calling a home directory a database would likely make my CS 462 professor's head explode.

@nuintari Everyone knows that there is no place like /home.
