You: It’s a single user system
Also you: Tmpfs would have to be done for every user
And a /tmp/ symlink would have to be created for every user too, so I don’t get your point
Tmpfs is just as easy as making a symlink, but without the filename conflicts between files in ~/.config/ and /tmp/. You just need to add a line to /etc/fstab
<span style="color:#323232;">find /home/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec mount none {}/.cache/ -t tmpfs -o size=16G </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">;
</span>
for doesn’t work here because it uses spaces to delimit strings, which could cause issues with filenames that contain spaces
You can also create a systemd user service, which is useful if you don’t have root access. The above mount command requires root, but the following doesn’t and is more robust than symlinking to /tmp/:
This 9v battery contained six cells stacked like a layer cake (lemmy.sdf.org)
