  Just put tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=4G 0 0 in /etc/fstab then reboot and /tmp will be a RAM drive. Set size to whatever you want the maximum size to be.

    This is what I do. But the thing is, I can only have so much RAM on my motherboard.

    Alternatively, I’ve been using zram to better utilize the space, but the original issue remains.

    A lot of Linux distros do this by default. Alternatively you can use /dev/shm which is guaranteed to always be a RAM disk.
