[systemd-devel] homectl error: "System does not support selected file system"

[Arian van Putten]

Systemd-homed Support is not available yet in NixOS but there are some
active PRs.  I think we can better assist you in the #nixos-systemd channel
in the NixOS matrix than on the systemd mailing list.

Care to drop questions there? Happy to assist.
