From homectl:

Home directories managed by systemd-homed.service are usually in one of two states, ... when "active" they are unlocked and mounted, and thus accessible to the system and its programs; ... Activation happens automatically at login of the user

What does 'login' mean? For example, I created a user and tried to su -l test, but I got: cannot change directory to /home/test.

What is required to 'activate' a homed directory if not a login shell?

You can also ssh into localhost as the user if you have that set up

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.
