On Windows this is the user SID on all other platforms it is the value returned by `id`.

Be aware that if you are running under `sudo` then you `id` will change to 0.

Possible values:

* Windows - S-1-5-21
* All others - 1000

```dart
import "package:system_info2/system_info2.dart";

print("User ID          : ${SysInfo.userId}");
```
