In some Linux configurations, the Linux home directory provided by getpwent is not usable.
The value of the system property `user.home` should fallback to the value of $HOME
if getpwent.user_home is null or less that 2 characters long. "/" is not a valid home directory name.
If $HOME is undefined or empty, the value of the getpwent.user_home is retained.
There are more details in the Jira issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8280357
The fix has been tested manually on Ubuntu 20.0.4 using the suggested systemd command line and variations.
