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 recommend any screen video capture tools compatible with Wayland? I’ll use such a tool on my Raspberry Pi 400 under 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, so I'd prefer one with appropriate Debian binaries.

Update

VokoscreenNG is a screencasting tool that works with Raspberry Pi OS, I tested it on my Pi 400. And it's also easy to install, just sudo apt install vokoscreen-ng gstreamer1.0-pipewire.

OBS can capture wayland output just fine. At least in recent versions 29.X for sure. I don't know how the Debian/Raspberry Pi OS repositories updates them. Hopefully they have a newer version these days.

Crashes wayland for me, known bug according to issues

Interesting suggestion but possibly overkill.

Kooha is pretty nice, remember that it needs a portal.

Looks nice indeed, thanks.

I know newer versions of Spectacle can do short video recordings. But that's a Plasma app.

I really hope wlroots screen capture lands in ffmpeg sometime soon. But I haven't heard any rumblings that that's even on their radar.

I've updated the post.
