I still have to rid off of one of these two tmpfs

I think I have to keep one of them since it is associated to my id (526) but I can't imagine what the other is for and how to avoid its creation. Googling didn't help much.
Don't remove either one. They are managed by the system. They are taking no disk space (unless memory becomes full and it will then use swap). They are not even taking significant memory. In fact 989 is using 0 memory. Why are you so intent on removing things working as they should?
Probably user 989 is your login display manager. Check who 989 is in /etc/passwd (grep 989 /etc/passwd). On my system is it "lightdm". I have a /run/user/966. My 966 is "sddm", my display manager.
Indeed you are right, this is sddm, I was thinking it was something related to some other users I dismissed but it seems it is not the case.
Thanks for the grep suggestion I couldn't image it was something really in use.
