Strange, I have two Rpi's with two different versions of Raspbian and none
of them uses /tmp on tmpfs (and I would never use it on a machine with
so few RAM, I do it on desktops with 32 GB RAM and limit the size of .tmp
to 1 GB).

This is my layout and notice that I have TL 2015 and 2018 installed:

This is a server that controlls my home network (DHCP, DDNS, gateway
between computers
and Synology)), it is not used for TeXing.
