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.

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.

A web tool? Why would anyone install a web tool for controlling their kernel’s settings?

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.

I just can’t wait to have inexperienced users mess around with that.

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.
