Consider using systemd-mount instead of var symlink #44

Description

@jumpyvi

The symlink workflow from silverblue is really non-standard and annoying.

Since this isnt silverblue, we could use something else like systemd-mount which does exactly the same thing but with less UX friction.

With systemd-mount you can keep using /home/user instead of the lenghty /var/home/user, it also fix compatibilities with software that expect a /home/user like UnityHub, snapcraft or even some shell for theming.

That's what I do on UbuntuBootc, it's so much nicer:
