Warning: neither $XDG_CONFIG_HOME nor $HOME are defined

Hello,

I am trying to get quadlets running in my machine with systemd-homed.
Whenever i try to 'systemd --user daemon-reload' in the logs i see this warning:

Warning: neither $XDG_CONFIG_HOME nor $HOME are defined

The problem is, that quadlet services are not being generated during daemon-reload.
When i try the manual generation it translates fine and when i create a blank user in homectl everything is working.

where is $HOME set with gdm / homectl?

Re: Warning: neither $XDG_CONFIG_HOME nor $HOME are defined

Those are typically set per user when a session is started.

You have checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Podman#Quadlet ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
