Guys was this ever fixed https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1503284/java-system-getpropertyuser-home-returns?

What it even remotely has to do with Kotlin?

Best part is the answer is right there: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1508616

That looks like more of a hack then an answer.

This isnt even a kotlin question. its a java question:

It's a bit embarrassing but the solution was simply to use a 64-bit JDK on a 64-bit system. I copied everything from my old machine, which meant also a 32-bit JDK, and this was the problem. It worked as expected with a 64-bit runtime.

how is that a hack?

This is offtopic, please stop.
