Home folders are supported on Windows and Linux based fleets. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/home-folders.html
You can enable home folders in the stack settings. From the documentation:
Home folders are stored on fleet instances in the following default locations:
- Non-domain-joined Windows instances: C:\Users\PhotonUser\My Files\Home Folder
- Domain-joined Windows instances: C:\Users%username%\My Files\Home Folder
- Linux instances: ~/MyFiles/HomeFolder

This was super helpful, thanks to this link, I was able to configure a couple apps - DBeaver and Oracle SQL Developer in our stack for our SQL developers/DBAs to write to these paths via env variables and command line arguments.
For those curious:
AppStreamImageAssistant list-applications
{ "status": 0, "message": "Success", "applications": [ { "Name": "Terminal", "AbsoluteAppPath": "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal", "AbsoluteIconPath": "/usr/share/icons/gnome/256x256/apps/utilities-terminal.png" }, { "Name": "DBeaver", "AbsoluteAppPath": "/usr/bin/dbeaver-ce", "AbsoluteIconPath": "/usr/share/dbeaver-ce/dbeaver.png", "LaunchParameters": "-data /home/as2-streaming-user/MyFiles/HomeFolder/DBeaver" }, { "Name": "SQL_Developer", "AbsoluteAppPath": "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal", "AbsoluteIconPath": "/opt/sqldeveloper/icon.png", "LaunchParameters": "-- sqldeveloper'" } ] }
I also patched in an environment variable in /etc/profile.d/sqldeveloper.sh and /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh, like so: export IDE_USER_DIR="$HOME/MyFiles/HomeFolder/SQL_Developer"
Worked like a charm!
