This seems like a filename conflict waiting to happen. Why not just mount a tmpfs there?
Like I said it’s a cheap solution for a single user system. Ofc tmpfs would be better but has to be done for every user again
You: It’s a single user system
Also you: Tmpfs would have to be done for every user
And a /tmp/ symlink would have to be created for every user too, so I don’t get your point
Tmpfs is just as easy as making a symlink, but without the filename conflicts between files in ~/.config/ and /tmp/. You just need to add a line to /etc/fstab
