-# System default settings live in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/00-system.conf.
-# To override those settings, enter new settings here, or in an /etc/sysctl.d/<name>.conf file
+# sysctl settings are defined through files in
+# /usr/lib/sysctl.d/, /run/sysctl.d/, and /etc/sysctl.d/.
+#
+# Vendors settings live in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/.
+# To override a whole file, create a new file with the same in
+# /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there. To override
+# only specific settings, add a file with a lexically later
+# name in /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there.
