      It’s empty lol, it’s a directory on tmpfs that i use to build programs and similar stuff to not be hammering my ssd with unnecessary writes.

      I have $XDG_CACHE_HOME in tmp as well and I moved the mesa sharer caches to $XDG_STATE_HOME as that’s really the only thing so far I’ve needed to preserve.

        tmpfs (…) to build programs (…) to not be hammering my ssd with unnecessary writes

        Sounds useful. How did you setup the directory?

        Running df tells me “tmpfs” is mounted on /run. If I build in that that directory then would it be stored in RAM, or do I need to do something else?

          I have /tmp in my fstab with these mount options.

          tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,noatime,size=20G 0 0

          And the rest of the setup is done in my zprofile

            I think I should be able to get this working following your zprofile file. Thanks!
