"We can build our utopia, we just have to kill everyone who doesn't agree with us" doesn't sound very right in my ears. It sounds like something where one should ask "are we the baddies?"

That is not helping or support, that is enforcing your will on someone else in the disguise of help. Oh and I am sure that they will be fully informed about that cost and its implications.

So what basic rights should we strip them also? The right to vote? I mean, if they are not capable of making valid decisions about what to watch/read/think then they can't be capable of making valid decisions to vote! And lets remove Freedom of Speech fully, it only gets misused to enable nasty opinions and thoughts that "the correct and good" people don't like.

There is a huge difference between "influence the behavior of our loved ones" and acting as a dictator who censors where the adult and mentally fit loved ones can get their information from.

Yeah, stripping adult people from some of their basic rights sound like a perfectly fine idea.

Official Mod support often gets added later, Starfield for example was launched without and it was added later. This is a general trend nowadays, mod support for Baldurs Gate 3 (as an non Bethesda example) was added later too.

I am sure Oblivion Remastered will get mod support, and I would be very surprised if mod support will not also come with Creations integration.

Atomic/immutable distros are just another tool in the tool box. It is great for systems with a limited use scenario like the SteamDeck or HTPCs. I also love to install immutable distributions on systems where the user (often IT-illiterate) and the administrator are different people.

On my desktop PC I will, for the foreseeable future, use a normal distro (ArchLinux in my case) but i am planing to look into changing my servers to immutable with docker. That could make updates/maintenance easier and reduce the risk for full server compromises

Blizzard tried this with the Dark Pathways Bundle for Diablo 4 before, 30$ to change the colors of the Town portals. Was not very successful!

I have paid (by donating to them) for many of the open source software I use, so I don't think that everything should be free (as beer) but should be free (as freedom) and therefore open source.

The Bethesda feel is way I buy the games, the Bethesda feel is what makes the games. So I really hope that the Bethesda feel is still there.

Depends.. The technician inside me asks: How big and heavy is the theoretical cow and can I get a huge spindle with a powerful motor?

Can you name only one, of the many tries, where a socialist state worked?

Oh but i am sure those are all no true scotsman… I mean no true socialist states.

I first read it as milking machine..

And we have seen how great socialist countries work, every single time was a huge success with benefits for everyone...

"chattr +i" is what I use to make things immutable

Zola really is great, I have started to work with it and it is so much easier to grasp and to get results with. Thanks a lot for pointing me to Zola!

We have OpenMW, that is remake enough for me.

Unreal Tournament 2004 depends on SDL 1.3 when I recall correctly, and SDL is neither on Linux nor on any other OS a core system library.

Binary only programs are foreign to Linux, so yes you will get issues with integrating them. Linux works best when everyone plays by the same rules and for Linux that means sources available.

Linux in its core is highly modifiable, besides the Kernel (and nowadays maybe systemd), there is no core system that could be used to define a API against. Linux on a Home theater PC has a different system then Linux on a Server then Linux on a gaming PC then Linux on a smartphone.

You can boot the Kernel and a tiny shell as init and have a valid, but very limited, Linux system.

Linux has its own set of rules and his own way to do things and trying to force it to be something else can not and will not work.

It works under Windows because the windows binaries come with all their dependency .dll (and/or they need some ancient visual runtime installed).

This is more or less the Flatpack way, with bundling all dependencies into the package

Just use Linux the Linux way and install your program via the package manager (including Flatpack) and let that handle the dependencies.

I run Linux for over 25 years now and had maybe a handful cases where the Userland did break and that was because I didn't followed what I was told during package upgrade.

The amount of time that I had to get out of .dll-hell on Windows on the other hand. The Linux way is better and way more stable.
