Nice to see more Linux distributions make changes to ensure the gaming experience is good. Arch Linux is now following Fedora and Ubuntu on upping the vm.max_map_count value.
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 😂
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.
You can just set this in sysctl on basically any Linux, right?
