### mmap ASLR
- The bits of entropy used for mmap ASLR for all CPU architectures are maxed

## User namespaces aim to improve sandboxing and accessibility for unprivileged users.
## Unprivileged user namespaces pose substantial privilege escalation risks.
## Restricting may lead to breakages in numerous software packages.
## Flatpak requires unprivileged users to create new user namespaces for sandboxing.
## Uncomment the second sysctl to entirely disable user namespaces.
## Disabling entirely will reduce compatibility with some AppArmor profiles.
## Disabling entirely is known to break the UPower systemd service.
