Bon bah la majo des distris ont le changement, c’est pas mal.
Les jeux bugues qui necessitent trop de ram tourneront bien sans avoir besoin de changer le kernel 😂
The title mentions Ubuntu and Fedora, but I ran
cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_counton my openSUSE Tumbleweed system and it also uses 1048576.Good to know :-)
I kept waiting for them to do something like this.
At this point Linux really needs a web tool (like Cockpit) that can show and manage these types of settings regardless of the distribution.
A web tool? Why would anyone install a web tool for controlling their kernel’s settings?
You can just set this in sysctl on basically any Linux, right?
Yes. It’s just that not even I - and probably very few people - knew about that setting. It’s not really the Distros job to optimize it for a specific task tho, except maybe a gaming focused fork like SteamOS.
And I just noticed I could’ve just read the Arch Wiki article about Gaming, because point 5.1 talks about increasing vm.max_map_count lol.
Yeah that would be enjoyable for sure.
In the meantime, i used xanmodkernel or liquorix, they got updates ans the changes ago theses last news :-).
I just can’t wait to have inexperienced users mess around with that.
I might have the bandwidth to work on an open source tool. I am a bit out of context but are you saying the tool should allow for managing sysctl values? Genuine question and offer.
