I used to distro hop frequently before Linux was almost supported by many things. I preferred Fedora derivatives but Ubuntu pushed those out in the dev space. I switched to Arch because it was funny then a few years ago switched to EndeavorOS because it was easy. I currently can’t get things like OBS to work smoothly (when my display sleeps, screen captures have to be deleted and rebuilt), sharing my screen with basically any tool is a nightmare, and I’m just kinda tired of compiling fixes and deeply configuring. I’m spoiled by the work experience on a Mac where all of this stuff works and it’s POSIX compliant.
What I’d like out of the box
- Solid support of OBS or other streaming tools
- Easy screensharing
- Decent audio experience
- Packages not Snaps (if I have to cave on this one I have to cave)
Linux is Linux so the rest of what I do will work almost anywhere. Godot, Rust, and a browser are basically all I need.
Yeah, we’re gonna need more details, like your DE, GPU, maybe the monitor?
But I would start by test booting images and just… see what OBS package works out of the box. Try Cachy or Nobara with KDE, plus whatever their respective wikis say about OBS usage.
