Ubuntu’s package *procps* 2:3.3.16-5ubuntu3.1 installs `sysctl` only in
`/sbin/sysctl`, and therefore the service unit fails to be started.
Instead of `/usr/sbin/sysctl`, use `/sbin/sysctl`, which is a symbolic
link on MarIuX.
$ ls -l /sbin/sysctl # usrlinks-1.0-0.x86_64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 29 15:02 /sbin/sysctl -> /usr/sbin/sysctl
Alternatively, as systemd does not require absolute pathnames anymore,
only `sysctl` could be used, but be explicit for now.
