If I'm reading this right they support gnome, kde, and wlroots compositors, by sharing the protocols meant for screen sharing. Also they don't support capturing xwayland clients.

Nice. I suppose mounting the output as a virtual camera isn't supported yet?

Should work fine, I've done it recently. Just make sure you have the latest version, and the v4l2loopback kernel module installed.

Support for Wayland is getting up there. Just five days ago the bounty to support Wayland in Barrier was funded [1]

Totally unrelated but: The day I can wireless screencast my Linux Laptop to my home television I will lite a candle.

You can. I do it: hdmi wireless is a thing ! Just plug it. I have used one with dual input and repeater (outputs what is selected as input).

What's up with the recent Flatpack/Snap fetish? Doesn't anybody just get their software into a distro anymore?

Edit: EFF's recommendation for certbot, their ACME/LetsEncrypt client, is to use snap on a freaking server. Why?

If your TV has YouTube installed you could potentially live stream your laptop.

I think the original blog post from the developer is a better link: https://feaneron.com/2021/03/30/obs-studio-on-wayland/ Michael added zero extra information on top of that.

I appreciate the summary. Also there's a clear link in the summary to the developer's much longer post.

When I made the jul over to full time Linux last February,this is something iran into and was confused about. Wayland was the default on Ubuntu, and it worked great! Except for a lot of applications that just wouldn't load... After some reading, I moved to X, but I can't wait for the day Wayland is ready to go.

Will there ever be a good way to run things like dmenu on Wayland? I'm still a novice, but will all X programs need to be converted?

Which distro can I use right now except maybe ArchLinux if I want the latest OBS ? Like, right now ?
