@AdrianVovk @mhoye There absolutely should not be functionality to rm -rf /home in systemd or anything that would ever be installed on non-landlord systems. There is no plausible reason for someone ever to want that done as some sort of automatic management process to their own personal system.

@dalias @mhoye Nothing happens automatically here... It's a command you have to run. Yeah it was poorly documented that it's essentially a factory reset and that has since been corrected. By your own argument, the presence of rm makes your system exclusive to landlords, whatever that means. Which is silly. tmpfiles is not a conspiracy to secretly run rm -rf /home on your system when you're not looking. It's a tool that creates /home on first boot, told by user to delete everything it created
