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.

Should I use Windows built-in shrink feature to move partition space to another partition? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Definitely don't defrag regularly because, yes, it will wear out the SSD. However, defragging once will move the files into a contiguous chunk of the partition and allow you greater success at shrinking it.

I seem to remember disabling hibernation and swapfile, then defragging, seemed to significantly increase the chances of success shrinking an active partition.

(Re-enable hibernation/swap after the shrink operation is finished.)

KDE Plasma 6: How to *temporarily* disable suspend on closing laptop lid? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

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.

Real nerds learned how to create SP-MIDIs and structured them to degrade gracefully no matter how limited your phone's synth chip was.
