Many people have desktops with 128 GB RAM. Should they enable hugepages? I've never heard this recommendation for a desktop. | ||

Huge pages is good when a single process is reserving a giant block of memory which I think isnt that common. You might have transparent huge pages on by default depending on the distro | ||

If they’re running any sort of a vm (which they probably do with this amount of ram) they absolutely should and also should consider pre-reserving them. | ||
