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.

Shadow Cast: GPU accelerated screen and audio recording for Linux (github.com)

I created Shadow Cast after becoming disillusioned with the lack of simple, performant display recording utilities for X11. All feedback welcome.

Shadow Cast: GPU accelerated screen and audio recording...

Neat, this could be interesting!

for X11

Oh. Anyway...

Haha. There’s no Wayland support… yet. Check out gpu-screen-recorder for a very similar project with Wayland support

Thanks for sharing your work at Lemmy! I say this because although I don’t use Reddit, I’m sure that logically because there are more users there and being more famous, it is the preferred platform for developers to share their work.

Think you’ll implement a replay feature in the future? I love that feature.

And is there any chance of porting your job in the future to Wayland? Currently there is no program (only OBS, as far as I know) that allows recording in Wayland, it would be great to have more options.

Thank you for your kind words!

I haven’t made the jump to Wayland yet. I basically live in the terminal (when I’m not playing games!) so haven’t been in any rush. I definitely want to support Wayland going forward because it seems everyone has switched but me!

It has no support for AMD or Intel GPUs though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I absolutely plan to support team red/blue GPUs. I just don’t have access to the h/w right now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

is it faster/better than gpu screen recorder?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Just by “eyeballing” the two, there’s very little, if any difference on my setup.

I like how happy the dood is on the repo profile pic. Like he beat the final boss in Sekiro in one try. 10/10 project.

The pfp is goofy af. It stays 😂

I wonder if this technology could be used in OBS's screen recording?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I’d be surprised if it doesn’t do something similar. I haven’t used OBS so I can’t really comment to it’s performance
