I see they are testing this on a Mac. I am curious what the test results look like if the users home directory or even the dot directories are tmpfs. On Linux .bash_login can repopulate dot directories from a archive directory think skeleton files and the dot directories can be ephemeral mounted as tmpfs. The person can have a command to commit their ephemeral directories back to the archive if they want to "keep their changes" so to speak. Or automate it on .bash_logout.
du --max-depth 0 -h -c .cache .config .local

It's a bit of space on this CachyOS laptop but it's doable.

a bit off topic but on the topic of fingerprinting here, anyone knows how reddit fingerprinting works at a rough level?
