Maybe I phrased it badly in my post. Of course swaywm in itself doesn’t have any animations, but since I don’t have a desktop environment like gnome or kde, I thought people would understand if I said that I use swaywm. Sorry
animation hog ressources on low end hardware, and, by their nature, make your system less snappy since you have to wait for the animation to end before interacting with your program
Does the flash drive show when you run lsblk with the correct amount of space? dd will overwrite the partition table and works directly with the underlying physical blocks of the device. If the flash drive isn’t broken, you should be able to rebuild the partition table with parted (tutorial from linuxconfig.org on the matter)
I just installed Debian 12 on an Optimus laptop and had no issues. Well none that I can blame on Debian. Somehow secure boot got re-enabled which blocks the Nvidia drivers from loading. But once I figured that out drivers installed great, and not having any problems. Worth a try since you say you want to try Debian.
Honestly I’d go with something that supports booting in secure boot mode like fedora or Ubuntu(direct derivatives maybe). And yes, install to am external drive if you plan on having persistence.
I think compact mode in Nautilus is part of the Gnome 43 release and might not be in the version of Gnome that you’re currently using. You might also be running Gnome 43 but your distro could have left out the Nautilus update for some reason.
I am using Debian 12, which uses Gnome 43, now you might be wondering why Debian, well, let me tell you.
Until recently (less than a month ago) I was forced into using Debian 11, as my desktop’s GPU - The Quadro 600 - had a very old driver, incompitable with any modern distro, But I have since upgraded to an Intel HD 630 IGPU (putting an IGPU after “upgraded to” feels very weird), and stuck to Debian out of habit.
I am looking to download Fedora (it mainly a gaming machine after all) once my data plan’s usage stabilizes a bit, now you might be asking: “Why did he tell me all of this?”, I honestly do not know, I just wanted to share my story.
Honestly I’d recommend going to ~/.config/obs-studio and making a backup of your scenes then deleting the originals. Start up OBS and set things up again.
I’ve had similar issues when switching between KDE Plasma and sway, if I left the old scenes there OBS would break after switching enviornments. Once I deleted the scenes it would work fine.
Anonymized telemetry doesn’t hurt my feelings as long as it’s opt in. Unfortunately, fedora’s link to Rhel which has repeatedly kicked the community in the ribs worries me. Red hat may decide that fedora should collect by default in an update or that features will only be decided by telemetry instead of user request or developer interest.
Basically, Red Hat/IBM is my worry when it comes to this. No proof of anything at this point but I no longer have any faith in Red Hat.

Brother MFC machines are what I've always used without issue in linux. Brother offers linux drivers for both print and scan on their site and they're fairly simple to install. @linux
