The new version of Systemd 256.1 fixes the critical bug that caused the deletion of the contents of the /home partition.

It’s actually not a bug, but obvious behavior.

I will presume that there is a useful and mostly logical reason for it

Home directories are temporary, obviously

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
