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 😂

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.
