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

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 :-).
