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.

Can you use the AMF encoder on Radeon cards with this?
Yes. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-amd-encoder
Or on Linux (sorry for Reddit link...) https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/qwqxwd/how_to_enable_amd_amf_encoding_in_obs/
I should have said with the mesa drivers. :(
Ah! Then like me you can use VKCapture. https://github.com/nowrep/obs-vkcapture.
It's not quite as fast as hardware accelerated, but it's as good as you can otherwise get.
While I don't know how, I do know that there is a way to have mesa for most things while having AMF encoder for encoding. Nobara has this set up out of the box so there is some way. Maybe you could search for it using a search engine
Does it really? I know when I looked into it a bit ago the main dev for nobara had a video about how to install it and use it but it didn't let you split that out. You could quickly change back and forth between mesa and amdgpu but if you tried to run amf with mesa it would hard lock and crash
It has been some time since I tried out Nobara so I might be wrong. I just remember that Nobara page lists having amf encoder support out of the box as a feature
