Home directories outside of '/home'

degville:

The snap daemon (snapd) looks for a user’s home directory ($HOME) under /home on the local filesystem. However, from snapd 2.59 onwards, the snap daemon can access an additional location using the homedirs system option:
sudo snap set system homedirs=<destination-directory>

Does this mean it replaces your /home as something else? What if it’s just an additional directory for your data?

trying to get rid of this error:
