Arch linux increasing max_map_count

I noticed that Arch Linux have changed the default value for sysctl variable vm.max_map_count to help people running Steam games etc. May be worth doing likewise if you do a lot of Steam ironing.

I've set my value to the one that Arch is now using.
The one game that now and then crashes (Path of Exile) still does so, unfortunately.

Game can run even better?
I don't have a lot of time for playing games anymore, but my games on Gentoo run just
like it runs on Windows. I feel no slowdown at all on almost all of my games. Proton
really changed Linux, not just for games but also running other applications.

Thanks for the heads-up, I have made the change on Gentoo!
