3 operating systems walk into a bar
The first says "I'm Windows. The most popular, everyone likes me and I don't mess about. I'll have a pint of lager."
The second says "I'm Mac OS. I'm the favourite of artists and hipsters, and I could never settle for a boring lager like Windows. Give me your hoppiest artisanal IPA!"
The third says "I'm Linux. I'll have some water, hops, barley and yeast please."

Linux and Video Streaming / Playback
Can you guys give me some pointings regarding linux and video streaming / playback?
I bought a modest notebook to stream online classes and record a few videos for my students with the following specs / setup:
Samsung Notebook Flash F30
Intel Celeron N4000 1.10\~2.60GHz / Intel UHD 600
4GB LPDDR4 / 64GB e.MMC / SSD SATA III 240GB
External Logitech StreamCam / Canon SL3 (used with HDMI and OBS)
I couldn't acquire a smooth experiece streaming, recording or playbacking 720p or 1080p videos in youtube / google meet or zoom with windows (even with heavy tweaking) or lightweight distros like xubuntu, lubuntu, fedora / mint / manjaro xfce or lxqt, not even with void linux.
But then, out of curiosity, and as a last resort, I tried installing ChromeOS through Brunch Framework to see how it responded and I was surprised to see how smoothly it handled all my needs. Recordings in 1080p with 30 and 60fps, no stuttering or audio lagging, in brief, everything I was hoping for, except the traditional linux experiece that I was used to. It even worked flawlessly with my Canon in the 4K mode on the Camera Connect app (besides the awful native cropping from the SL3 model).
What am I missing? Does it have something to do with drivers, packages, processess, kernel versions (I read something about real-time/low latency kernels) or something else?
How can I acquire the same experience with other distros?

Fans won't stop running in sleep mode
I've been trying to fix this for a while but I've had no luck. I have Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.5 set up on my machine as a dual boot. When I'm using Windows, the fans turn off properly when I put the computer to sleep. In Linux, the fans stay running in sleep/lock mode as if the computer is not sleeping at all. I've poked around in my BIOS but can't find any clues. Is it possible to make Corsair RGB fans go to sleep on system lock? Even if someone could tell me this is not fixable, I would feel a lot better. If you made it this far, thanks for reading.

Neal Stephenson's tale of OSes as car dealerships.
"Imagine a crossroads where four competing auto dealerships are situated. One of them (Microsoft) is much, much bigger than the others. It started out years ago selling three-speed bicycles (MS-DOS); these were not perfect, but they worked, and when they broke you could easily fix them.
There was a competing bicycle dealership next door (Apple) that one day began selling motorized vehicles--expensive but attractively styled cars with their innards hermetically sealed, so that how they worked was something of a mystery.
The big dealership responded by rushing a moped upgrade kit (the original Windows) onto the market. This was a Rube Goldberg contraption that, when bolted onto a three-speed bicycle, enabled it to keep up, just barely, with Apple-cars. The users had to wear goggles and were always picking bugs out of their teeth while Apple owners sped along in hermetically sealed comfort, sneering out the windows. But the Micro-mopeds were cheap, and easy to fix compared with the Apple-cars, and their market share waxed.
Eventually the big dealership came out with a full-fledged car: a colossal station wagon (Windows 95). It had all the aesthetic appeal of a Soviet worker housing block, it leaked oil and blew gaskets, and it was an enormous success. A little later, they also came out with a hulking off-road vehicle intended for industrial users (Windows NT) which was no more beautiful than the station wagon, and only a little more reliable.
Since then there has been a lot of noise and shouting, but little has changed. The smaller dealership continues to sell sleek Euro-styled sedans and to spend a lot of money on advertising campaigns. They have had GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! signs taped up in their windows for so long that they have gotten all yellow and curly. The big one keeps making bigger and bigger station wagons and ORVs.
On the other side of the road are two competitors that have come along more recently.
One of them (Be, Inc.) is selling fully operational Batmobiles (the BeOS). They are more beautiful and stylish even than the Euro-sedans, better designed, more technologically advanced, and at least as reliable as anything else on the market--and yet cheaper than the others.
With one exception, that is: Linux, which is right next door, and which is not a business at all. It's a bunch of RVs, yurts, tepees, and geodesic domes set up in a field and organized by consensus. The people who live there are making tanks. These are not old-fashioned, cast-iron Soviet tanks; these are more like the M1 tanks of the U.S. Army, made of space-age materials and jammed with sophisticated technology from one end to the other. But they are better than Army tanks. They've been modified in such a way that they never, ever break down, are light and maneuverable enough to use on ordinary streets, and use no more fuel than a subcompact car. These tanks are being cranked out, on the spot, at a terrific pace, and a vast number of them are lined up along the edge of the road with keys in the ignition. Anyone who wants can simply climb into one and drive it away for free.
Customers come to this crossroads in throngs, day and night. Ninety percent of them go straight to the biggest dealership and buy station wagons or off-road vehicles. They do not even look at the other dealerships.
Of the remaining ten percent, most go and buy a sleek Euro-sedan, pausing only to turn up their noses at the philistines going to buy the station wagons and ORVs. If they even notice the people on the opposite side of the road, selling the cheaper, technically superior vehicles, these customers deride them cranks and half-wits.
The Batmobile outlet sells a few vehicles to the occasional car nut who wants a second vehicle to go with his station wagon, but seems to accept, at least for now, that it's a fringe player.
The group giving away the free tanks only stays alive because it is staffed by volunteers, who are lined up at the edge of the street with bullhorns, trying to draw customers' attention to

this incredible situation. A typical conversation goes something like this:
Hacker with bullhorn: "Save your money! Accept one of our free tanks! It is invulnerable, and can drive across rocks and swamps at ninety miles an hour while getting a hundred miles to the gallon!"
Prospective station wagon buyer: "I know what you say is true...but...er...I don't know how to maintain a tank!"
Bullhorn: "You don't know how to maintain a station wagon either!"
Buyer: "But this dealership has mechanics on staff. If something goes wrong with my station wagon, I can take a day off work, bring it here, and pay them to work on it while I sit in the waiting room for hours, listening to elevator music."
Bullhorn: "But if you accept one of our free tanks we will send volunteers to your house to fix it for free while you sleep!"
Buyer: "Stay away from my house, you freak!""

Earlier today, I read a comment on a subreddit somewhere. It said, "Arch is for Pros". I don't agree with this, in fact, I think that the opposite is more accurate.
