      Honestly not sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if it breaks something with D-Bus based on skimming the man pages, but I’ve never dug into it. Its not exposed in containers I run though, and I haven’t run into anything that broke there as a result… 🤷️

      You can check the man pages for this file, but in short it gets regenerated. It’s used to determine whether this is the first boot or not.
