Summary
Configure omarchy to use a private per-user temporary directory at
~/.local/tmpvia$TMPDIR.This avoids using the shared
1777/tmpnamespace for applications that respect$TMPDIR, while preserving/tmpfor compatibility.Implementation
~/.local/tmpTMPDIR=${HOME}/.local/tmpfor systemd user sessionssystemd-tmpfiles-clean.timerThe corresponding
omarchy-settingschange adds.local/tmpto/etc/skelfor newly created users.Rationale
The main benefit is removing compliant applications from the globally writable
/tmpnamespace, reducing exposure to classes of temporary-file bugs involving shared namespaces, predictable paths, symlink attacks, and related races.MacOS has also taken similar steps using
/var/folders/...
