net, how big of a mistake is it really to use /tmp/Downloads as a location to save downloads?

@awoo tbh i'd be inclined to just setup systemd-tmpfiles to wipe ~/Downloads on boot
(i have that set for /tmp, it's not a ramdisk, it just gets wiped on reboot. yes this means boots can sometimes take minutes deleting files, but meh)
@5225225 uhhhhh
i don't wanna wipe the already-existing downloads folder, + i'd rather have it in RAM, not directly saved onto the SSD (since the SSD, ironically enough, is really slow)

@javascript eh, it'll be fine :3

@awoo ah
i have Not A Lot of RAM and frequently download large files so actually putting it in RAM seemed like a bad idea
i mean it'd work fine just will be a bit of a pain in the ass if you do need to download large files, depending on how much space you can dedicate to /tmp

@5225225 by default it allocates 50% of installed RAM (so 8GB in my case) to
/tmpand just expands as needed ^^"
