SUMMARY The start directory in Konsole in Fedora Kinoite is incorrect. It should be `/home/<user>`, not `/var/home/<user>`. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Fedora Kinoite 2. Open Konsole 3. Observe the PWD OBSERVED RESULT <user>@fedora:/var/home/<user>$ EXPECTED RESULT <user>@fedora:~$ SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.3-200.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: Intel® HD Graphics 630 Graphics Processor 2: llvmpipe ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Since `/home` is a symlink to `var/home`, this is merely a cosmetic issue. $ ls -ld /home lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Dec 31 1969 /home -> var/home
I want to add that the home directory is set correctly to `/home/<user>` in both `$HOME` and `/etc/passwd`.
I just created a new user and the home is in /var/home. This bug report might be related: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/the-home-directory/35482
This should be issue on the Fedora side and it looks like the bug is already reported. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/the-home-directory/35482
