Increase “Open Files Limit”. Solution for “Too many open files (24)”

1. That “nasty” gnome-shell kept having 1024. So searching for more info I found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=208658 where oconnor663 suggested to create /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/nofile.conf with

   [Manager]
   DefaultLimitNOFILE=65536

   So I issued sudo grep -r NOFILE /etc/

   /etc/systemd/user.conf:#DefaultLimitNOFILE=
   /etc/systemd/system.conf:#DefaultLimitNOFILE=1024:524288

   Bingo!
   man systemd-user.conf informed me that the default is 1024! So I changed /etc/systemd/user.conf listing

   DefaultLimitNOFILE=50000:524288

   Let’s see if it fixes it
