Ah ah i will one day.
I clearly agree, apt is ugly and even synaptic making it better. But like i said, while ago when I used synaptic I did break my packages and I got to use dpkg and apt, to repair.
Since, I guess, I'm on a PTSD about it and now just use apt or dpkg, when using a Debian or Debian based system.
But I will listen to you, and for sure will give it a try
Didn't try the 4, and I don't even remember the maps of bc2. Just I didn't like them. The gameplay was different too and the sensations if I'm not wrong (crouch, run etc)
