 description:
     - This module manipulates sysctl entries and optionally performs a C(/sbin/sysctl -p) after changing them.
+    - If you are using C(systemd-sysctl(8)), note that it won't use the file C(/etc/sysctl.conf).
+    - If you are using C(procps) sysctl, it reads C(/etc/sysctl.conf).
+    - Read more about L(sysctl.conf, https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/sysctl.conf.5.html).
