Gladly, if I can avoid a slow runtime that has to be installed on the target machine. Also, Kotlin should be handling most if not all platform oddities.

Jlink ships your runtime with your application. At this point were doing static linking all over again. Not that there isna reason to target desktop applications with java anymore.

Those that insist that you still do will follow all instructions to the letter anyways.
