I take screenshots a lot using Spectacle, so I set my default save location to /run/user/1000/screenshots and made it autosave and copy to clipboard.

Since /run/user/1000/ is a tmpfs, it gets wiped on reboot, it doesn’t write to my SSD, and unlike /tmp/ it’s inaccessible by other users. I think it’s really convenient!

Anyone else doing this? I also often download zip files to /run/user/1000/screenshots so I can extract and delete the zip file without wasting SSD writes lol.

    @Die4Ever Thumbs up. I was reading, when will /tmp be cleaned without reboot, as default, is one day on debian. But for a workstation, you do not have to take care about this I think.
