  • Hot take: I wasn’t a huge fan of any of them, especially Opposing Force. The weapon sandbox felt overloaded and gameplay far more frustrating. I have never been able to get anybody into Decay with me, and I don’t really blame them. At least on the original PS2 port, it doesn’t have the polish that the original HL PC version does and its challenges seem to stem more from that than the intended gameplay mechanics. That leaves me with Blue Shift, which I liked the most, but not enough to ever go back and finish in full. Every time I play it, I just go back to the main game.

















  • I don’t agree with the first half. I’ve upvoted comments mentioning Debian because it’s the one I would recommend, but it’s not my favorite and none of my daily drivers use it.

    However, I agree with the second half. OP seems to be avoiding actually fixing the issue and is hoping that rolling the dice on another distro will fix at least the USB issue. Fixing the issue on OpenSUSE will likely guide them to learn something helpful along the way and they won’t need to re-setup everything else.


  • I don’t know if it’s more resource-efficient, but when I wanted to start using VMs for work, I knew VirtualBox would not be a viable choice (thanks to Oracle and their horrible licensing), so I chose GNOME Boxes and have been pretty happy with it. I didn’t do any tests so I can’t say for certain , but it doesn’t seem like the resource consumption is that much different.
