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 😂

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?

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.

The title mentions Ubuntu and Fedora, but I ran cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system and it also uses 1048576.
