Probably a red herring, but I remember reading a while ago that
managing users home directories was another thing systemd was trying to
take over. A quick google search leads to things like:
https://opensource.com/article/22/3/manage-users-home-directory-systemd-homed
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
So might be worth running the 'homectl' command to see if it exists, it
doesn't on my the Debian 11 install. So like I said, probably a red
herring.
