Game Capture might be the same thing, I'd try that out

You might be right. The OBS kb says Game Capture is for Windows users only and that Linux users should use Window Capture. In my version, I have Game Capture, but not Window Capture. I fiddled with Game Capture, but after a few minutes I couldn't get it to show anything other than a black screen, so I went back to what I use now, Screen Capture (Pipewire).
Does the non-flatpak one do the same? I know there was some drama over the unofficial flatpak distribution. It might also be that the flatpak one doesn't have the necessary access.
Update - using Distrobox, I confirmed the Window Capture option is missing from the Sources menu in OBS Studio v31 (Fedora 41):
It is there in OBS Studio v29 (Debian 12):
Good question. I'm not sure I can install the non-flatpak version because I'm on Bazzite. Then again, I reckon I can use Distrobox to skirt around that. I'll try it and report back.
Seems like they just combined window and application capture into one thing. It makes sense.
