Linux Kernel Optimizer

This 3 sentence summary provides the key details about the script: The script optimizes the Ubuntu kernel by updating sysctl settings like TCP parameters, memory values and file limits. It checks for the bc utility, then writes optimized values to sysctl.conf based on the system's memory and architecture. Finally, it updates limits.conf to raise the maximum number of open files for all users.
