I was a windows user back in 2019 - 2020, and moved over to Linux in 2021. I honestly forgot how i found Linux, and when I was using Windows, I remember using this feature “Game Bar”, which I used to make game clips on my PC. Although, when I got my NVIDIA Card the Game Bar Stopped working because of the HDMI cord that modern GPU’s use.

The Real Question, is there a program that replicates the Xbox Game bar? I really like the functionality that the game bar provides, and would like to start using it again, but on Linux. I was hoping if anyone knew of such program, or if you know the steps for me to build it myself. I found this Repository where someone made a clone, although it’s for Windows, and not what I expected.

      This is what I use. The project is dead and had some bugs that kept it running on my system right away, but as it’s open source, I was able to fix the code a little bit to success. Just wish it was a little friendlier on cpu or could be selective on which apps to run instead of recording nonstop regardless. I have it start up with Steam for now though.

      Listen, it’s a screenshot from when I was using windows back in 2020. It’s from Facebook messenger, I just didn’t feel like downloading and uploading when Lemmy has a url link I can drop here. Sorry, I get why you hate Facebook, me too. I just find it convenient to use the link feature. Again, privacy badger is a useful add on I use that helps blocks Facebook and X (Twitter) widgets.

        It’s better when you don’t upload them directly to lemmy instances anyway, it’s expensive to host images. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

      They probably just took the first good image from an image search and that image happen to come from facebook.
