Wow you're fast, beautiful goofy picture guy.

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...
Is it GPU accelerated?
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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
