Here’s the /s for those that didn’t click the link.

What’s with the orange lines?

EDIT: Now I get it, it’s supposed to be highlighting the line above it, not crossing out text.

Gotcha, I honestly didn’t watch the video, so the joke is now on me.

I don’t know if this is the point you’re making, but IIRC, they are a disorganized group, so anybody can claim to be part of them.

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.

You’re most welcome. I completely understand your situation and is why I don’t constantly tell others to switch. I’m very happy using Linux, but I had to do a lot of learning to get here. I know it’s not realistic for everybody to have the motivation to make the move.

Keep in mind, SteamOS is going to be smooth for gaming, but possibly challenging for other things. Modding will still have some challenges to it and anything that isn’t gaming might not be so easy too. If you plan to use SteamOS when it comes out, the closest experience to it is Bazzite OS with KDE Plasma. If you’re curious enough, setup it up in a VM and try to get your non-gaming software working.

I use Linux daily for work and gaming. Honestly, it’s not there yet for gaming. The closest you’ll get to “it just works” is with the Steam Deck, and even then, modding is not as straightforward most of the time. Very few things, gaming-wise, are easier than Windows and I would’ve struggled had I not already known my way around Linux, thanks to work.

To please the shareholders. Then, when AI is no longer deemed valuable and its tremendous costs sink in, they will remove it and layoff the teams that worked on it, to please the shareholders.
