I havent used a non-tmpfs (disk-based) /tmp in over 15 years

Didnt need it on NetBSD, memory could go to zero and system would (thrash but) not crash. When I switched to Linux the OOM issue was a shock at first but I learned to avoid it

I use small form factor computers, with userland mounted in and running from memory, no swap; I only use longterm storage for non-temporary data
