From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This latest version now supports screen recording on Wayland*. This YouTube example was recorded on Gnome 44's compositor (piped.video link).

* tested on Gnome, Wayfire, and Sway

Is it possible to get this to work with OBS studio? I see the author mentions OBS as an "Alternative Project" but it seems ideal to have these pieces work together.

OBS already does screen recording on Wayland...

If you use the correct encoder, yes.

OBS is not properly gpu accelerated on nvidia. It copies the video frame to the cpu and then back to the gpu every frame. If you have an older cpu/slower ram then this causes huge fps loss in games.
