These will be used by display managers to pre-select the user's
preferred desktop environment and display server type. On homed, the
display manager will also be able to set these fields to cache the
user's last selection.
This makes it possible to edit blob directories using homectl. The
following syntax is available:
* `--blob-directory=/path/somewhere`: Replaces the entire blob directory
with the contents of /path/somewhere
* `--blob-directory=foobar=/path/somewhere`: Replaces just the file
foobar in the blob directory with the contents of /path/somewhere
* `--blob-directory=foobar=`: Deletes the file foobar from the blob
directory
* `--blob-directory=`: Resets all previous flags
* `--avatar=`, etc: Shortcuts for `--blob-directory=FILENAME=` for the
known files in the blob directory
This field is like preferredLanguage, but takes a priority list of
languages instead. If an app isn't translated into a user's primary
language, it can fall back to one of the other languages in the list
thus making the app more accessible to the user.
For instance: in my experience, many Ukrainians are fluent in Russian,
often significantly better than English (especially if they are of a
generation that grew up during the USSR). Such a person might set this
new variable to ["uk_UA.UTF-8", "ru_UA.UTF-8"] so that software that
lacks Ukrainian translations will first try Russian translations before
defaulting to English.

Apparently both Fedora and suse default to btrfs now, it should hence be
good enough for us too.
This enables a bunch of really nice things for us, most importanly we
can resize home directories freely (i.e. both grow *and* shrink) while
online. It also allows us to add nice subvolume based home directory
snapshotting later on.
Also, whenever we mention the three supported types, alaways mention
them in alphabetical order, which is also our new order of preference.
