This might not be the case (like you, I'm also
using tmpfs for /tmp as mentioned in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57589#9).
I've wrote a small guix system test for testing out this tmpfs theory at
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59739 and so far, all the tests pass, with or without
/tmp as tmpfs mount.

Can you share your 'loginctl show-user gdm' and
'loginctl show-session <GDM session here>' output (before logging in with gdm, you
can do this via ssh or switch to another tty) and your system specs/GPU make?
