Any system can match those, once it’s configured and you keep it simple.
1. Any notifications can be disabled
2. Use a simple DE like Xfce, or a WM; also, turn off unnecessary services
3. Again, if you don’t install much, there’s less to cause conflicts
4. Should work with any distro
I like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Here’s how it aligns with what you’re looking for:
1. Notifications depends on the DE you choose; disable the automatic SW update checker and notifications will be minimal
2. Pretty much any DE/WM is supported, pick a low mem one
3. zypper dup every week or two and you’re good; make an alias if you’re lazy; if something breaks (very rare), boot into the old image and run snapper rollback and try updating again in a few days
4. I haven’t used OBS, but you probably need pakman repos for codecs; I doubt it’s more effort than opi codecs
Debian stable could also be a good pick, and it’s what I generally recommend. Just use FlatPak for most software and the older system packages shouldn’t be an issue. It may take more work to get OBS setup though, I haven’t tried.

He’s a weird dude, but nobody should have to go through cancer treatment. I hope he lives many more years after treatment.

XMonad

I really liked my setup, but some programs sucked to use with it (GIMP comes to mind). It was the tiling WM that I stuck with the longest (also tried i3 and AwesomeWM).

Maybe I’ll find Sway a shot now that I have an AMD GPU so Wayland should work properly. If anyone has any recommendations for Wayland tiling compositors, let me know, I see there are several now.

For me it was more petty, I bailed when they moved my window buttons to the left (Ubuntu 10.04 I think?) because I saw the writing on the wall for further unwanted changes. And sure enough, they moved to Unity as their DE, which I couldn’t stand.
