If you’re talking about the Temp folder, the equivalent to that in Linux is /tmp/ which behaves exactly like you described. ~/.cache is more like a general directory for any cache that programs might wanna keep around for longer than a single boot. I’m not aware of special directories like this on Windows. From what I’ve seen, most programs on Windows tend to keep it in AppData alongside non-cache files
