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.

To remove the password prompt from gpu screen recorder you have to install it from source or from aur: https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/. Right now there is no good way to do that with the flatpak (adding exception for it in polkit wont work that nicely because of how it works).
thanks for the tip! I haven't gotten around to playing with polkit yet but I'll try to see if I can make that work. I don't think I've ever installed anything from the aur. probably a good time to try it out ^^
