Research direction
No file or test is named; begin with the Settings user-selection flow and compare it with the Filters workaround under Ubuntu 24.04 in rsync mode. Done means identifying why the sssd user and linuxbrew home folders are omitted and confirming both appear in the selection.

Description
Describe the bug
AFAICT on my Ubuntu 24.04 system, all users (I mean /home subfolders) are shown as excluded, but my own user (sssd user) and linuxbrew , installed by the brew package manager aren't
To Reproduce
not sure how to reproduce.
Are there logs that would indicate why these 2 /home/ folders are missing in the Settings selection?
I did not find anything relevant with journalctl
An easy enough workaround is available in Filters, where one can input wanted folders
