Hi, I am looking for video clipping tool that record the last 60 seconds or so from any game I play, but on Linux. Software such as MedalTV, Nvidia ShadowPlay(i have AMD card) etc… is what I am on the lookout for. I know OBS is one option, probably the best(?), but are there any other suggestions?

Any tips or suggestions appreciated :)

    My favourite tool is GPU Screen Recorder - https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/

    This is a screen recorder that has minimal impact on system performance by recording your monitor using the GPU only, similar to shadowplay on windows. This is the fastest screen recording tool for Linux.

    It works with AMD, Intel and Nvidia GPUs. It is also the one that performs better. Official repos AUR or Flatpak, or you can install from the source above. The flatpak already comes with the UI gtk https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder-gtk/

    Other tools I used were OBS and Steam - you can enable Steam to record your games in the Settings > Game Recording > Record in Background

    OBS was very laggy for me.

      OBS was very laggy for me.

      I think OBS does not do hardware acceleration by default, I needed to go into advanced settings to get it to work smoothly
