Well, I don't know what was wrong but going manually through cd /etc
and using sudo nano sysctl.conf
to edit solved my issue.

You need to add admin://
to the beginning of the full path to your preferred file to use the GVfs admin backend.
Since you're trying to open the /etc/sysctl.conf
file, you need to run
gedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf
Well i did "gedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf" without doing anything. It didn't do anything.

@Prabeshbhattarai Then you probably don't havegvfs-backends
installed. Install it first by runningsudo apt install gvfs-backends
, after that rungedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf
.

The gvfs is already installed. It says, "** (gedit:20502): WARNING **: 15:38:54.588: The specified location is not mounted"

From 60 to 10 is a decrease in swappiness. Is this what you want to do?
