From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks, this doesn't say anything tho about 2 levels deep in bullet 10. But I get anything in run/user/1000 serves the same purpose.
In this case, yes anything under /run should not be considered as normal files.
The above is accurate, and can be considered accurate for any directory below or at well.
Per /run, it's also mounted in memory, so trying to "declutter" it won't get you anywhere and things will return on reboot.
