I haven't used context that comes with texlive so I tried doing so on a
new computer (which means that there were no left overs from previous
texlive installs). I am on archlinux. First, some sanity checks:
$whereis context
context: /usr/bin/context
$pacman -Qo =context
/usr/bin/context is owned by texlive-core 2017.46770-1
Now, I tried compiling a file:
$context test

which says that context could not find a format, so it tried to generate
one, but none of the given directories were writable. I don't know why
mtxrun is trying to write in a /systemd-private directory.
$ mtxrun --expand-var TEXMFCACHE
/var/lib/texmf;home:.texlive/texmf-var
and the second directory is writable.
So, I can confirm that context that ships with texlive did not run out of
the box on my computer. It would have been nice had texlive generated the
context format (as it does for latex), so a user could have run context
out of the box. Even if that is not the case, context does try to generate
the format on its own and fails. I'll dig deeper into why that is
happenign.
Please do keep in mind that this is texlive that ships with archlinux and
not the one distributed by ctan. So, this could be a packaging error in
arch.
