When you lock your systemd-homed enabled Linux desktop today, your home directory (including the desktop session) is fully frozen. This happens because systemd-homed uses a single cryptographic key (the LUKS volume key) and throws it away during lock. Want to lock away just your credentials as on a normal screen lock while keeping music playing and notifications coming through? You can't.
This talk presents the work done as part of the systemd STF grant to extend the systemd-homed's key hierarchy that fixes this issue.
