This is the consensus, yes, and this is a good thing in general for IntelliJ
IDEA to do since /home/<user> is not guaranteed to actually be the user's HOME
(eg, nfs mounts, odd partitioning, etc).

However, a related conversation came up again on IRC today about openstack hard-
coding /etc for config directories and so I updated the preloading bug[1] for
the most up to date info as I understand Gustavo's thoughts on it. Once this
feature is implemented, it could be used to address IntelliJ IDEA and any snap
where the upstream is hard-coding paths in incompatible ways. I know it is late
in the week, but this would be a great 10-15 minute discussion at the sprint to
get people aligned on this bug.
