How to find the limits specified by you from a particular pc on linux through command or grepping file?
I’m not sure where you got your information, but it’s completely bogus. Linux has allowed the maximum number of threads to be changed at run time since 2.4. The default maximum is set based on total RAM, but that doesn’t stop you from setting it to whatever you want.
