There's nice > environment variable $TMPDIR. what does this change? finally most software will be "fixed" to not use it at all and spit in /var/tmp and render /tmp useless for many years it was a perfect setup to make a own partition or use in case of virtual machines even a own vdisk for /tmp because there can be large data which you do not want on a 4 GB small / and now the defaults are changed to spit tmp-data in the root-fs yes, powerusers can change this (and will) as also they could use tmpfs all over the time - but it is a wrong DEFAULT
