I need recommendations for a stable release distro for OBS Studio livestreaming and light video editing. This machine will be shared between several users who are techies, although not necessarily Linux (they're coming from Windows). I don't want to worry about things breaking because of an update, or to start a shoot only to find problems once we're live.

Nvidia and nonfree codecs should be treated as first-class citizens. H.264 w/ AAC will be everywhere with this workflow.

Some thoughts:

Linux Mint Debian Edition: Currently my top choice. It just works?

Fedora Bazzite: My second choice, maybe with auto-update disabled. Seems a bit risky though in the case of security updates to packages.

OpenSUSE: I run Slowroll on my laptop and work desktop, however recent package management errors relating to codecs and the packman repo have spooked me away.

Debian: Release cadance seems too slow for my preference.

Now that I've discovered emulators are now allowed on iOS, I'm playing through the original PS version of Chrono Cross.

The ability to use save states and jump back into a session within seconds is HUGE for me. No vendor logos, no waiting for save points. Just instant save and recall.

Makes me wish something like a literal USB key existed.

You mean something like a Yubikey?

Build. Mode. Music.

Half-Life and its mods defined my high school years. I have core memories of TFC 2fort with Eminem's "Stan" playing in the background. Of finding a server, adding it to my Favorites, and eventually becoming part of the community.

Valve's eventual inclusion of voice chat elevated the social aspect to another level.

DOOR. STUCK.

I'm getting GlaDOS vibes from this one.

This as well as its GUI are what I use. It is a bit annoying as you have to redo some steps after windows or driver updates.

This was probably 1997ish. My godparents had a computer with AOL, and I remember being blown away by chat rooms and being able to instantly communicate with people from all over the world. A year later, my family joined got our first internet connection.

Right. I'm sure they were the only ones.

If less is more, imagine how much more more can be.

If you mean the "Manually block sleep and screen locking" toggle in the battery icon in the systray, then no, that didn't stop the lid action.

 

In KDE 5, the Activities settings had an option for overriding (among other things) what actions closing the laptop lid did, so temporarily disabling the lid switch was as simple as switching Activities.

Now, in KDE 6, Activities have been reworked and this option was removed. What is an alternative way for me to, on demand, disable the laptop lid and keep it from putting the system to sleep? And then easily re-enable it again without a reboot or logging off?

The new Activities options for disabling "automatically turning off the screen" and "automatically sleeping and locking" have no effect.
