Yeah and everything IRL is just a wild mix of gluons, mesons and other strange particles. I would say that going so deep down is a bit much 😄

Not really, because it is in it’s core the same engine with the same limitations. It has the same worldspace and cell system as the original engine from Morrowind. Yes it has shader (a modern feature that is in the creation engine at least since Fallout 76, most likely even Fallout 4) and a LUA script engine besides the official creation script engine. This could be added to the engine very easily and that the Creation Engine doesn’t has this is a design decision not a engine limitation.

The cells and worldspaces are needed for a engine that allows huge amounts of persistent dynamic objects that can be removed from and added to the world freely., That is the reason why we don’t see games with large worlds like this in other engines. Even more so when the game has to run on consoles too. Neither No Man’s Sky, nor Outer Worlds or Cyberpunk have worlds or places full of persistent dynamic objects, nearly everything is static and hard baked into the world.

Strange but interesting, thank you!😊

Skyrim has not the same engine as Oblivion and Starfield has not the same engine as Skyrim. There always were huge upgrades and changes to the engine, saying that Starfield has the same engine is like saying that Unreal 5 is the same old engine as Unreal 1. It is the same engine in the same way as I am the same as my father or grandfather. We share lots of features and DNA and have the same last name, but we are very different in many ways.

As far as I know no engine out there is able to do what the creation engine can, and that is having world spaces with tons of persistent dynamic objects. If they would switch to another engine they would loose one of their core elements of the game, the possibility to take all the junk that is laying around in the world or to add things literally wherever the player wants. But this feature comes with the price that the world spaces have to be comparted in cells which are separate by loading screens. This can be minimized with streaming and dynamic data transfers but this has its limits too, even more so on resources constraint systems like consoles.

Sounds like you want savapage https://www.savapage.org/

It by default runs on its own port but that is easy fixable with a reverse proxy.

Is it then also the “state of being poisoned-ring”?

The structure is changing, many distributions already are merging more and more of the duplicated subdirectories in /usr/ with the counterparts in / but it takes time to complete that and at the moment those subdirectories are often still there but as symlinks to be compatible with older software (and sysadmins).

Yes, that is true. I was speaking in the context of very early Unix/Linux before initrd was a thing.

In german it is “Ehe-Ring” which literally translates to marriage ring

And I still don’t know what’s the point in separating /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.

This goes back to the olden days when disk space was measured in kilo and megabytes. /sbin/ and /usr/sbin have the files needed to start a bare bone Unix/Linux system, so that you could boot from a 800kb floppy and mount all other directories via network or other storage devices as needed.

It gets even more complicated nowadays because most DE will mount removable drives somewhere in folders like /run/$USER/

Mostly historical reasons, /home was often a network mounted directory, but /root must be local.

And only regular users have their home in /home

It should be part of Lutris since 5.17 Not sure if or how it works with flatpack though, should you use that.

As far as I understood this is due to preferring ULWGL for proton/wine in lutris now.

Well then the answer will most likely be: because they can and want to do it.

Maybe because that person uses systemd everywhere else and just doesn’t want the overhead of maintaining two different init systems.

There is no indication that anyone will be pruning systemd from distros in the near or far future. Systemd is here to stay and if anything it will only spread into more and more places as can be seen with projects like this.

I don’t fully understand that comment, but game mechanics and world building are two very different things.
