In theory with homed you can just keep all of those files (home directory) on a share or USB drive and access them anywhere.

Im personally curious to see how this works with a tool like Syncthing

gee great, more unnecessary shoving everything into the "cloud"-- just to make sure that users have absolutely no due process protection for the confidentiality of their data.

Microsoft and Google do this because they make money out of monetizing their users. What's systemd's excuse?

As far as USB goes-- can you suggest a currently manufactured _good_ usb storage device? I've found myself scrounging for old ones because anything currently made are unreliable, slow (in spite of amazing performance claims), or usually both.

This doesn't really make sense as a response to comment mentioning Syncthing which works with any backend, including your other machines.

Systemd's excuse for what exactly?

What's "everything" and got does it it try to shove it into the cloud?

Who do you think is putting the resources (manhours/money/etc) into mainlining this crap into Linux? It's the corps. Add Intel to the list.
