So I might've kinda slightly forgotten to post my stream on Cohost (or anywhere) today, but it was basically a cross between a test stream where I did my first ever stream in any flavour of Linux, and the regular Sunday Super Shuffle.

The biggest problems I ran into:

The version of OBS bundled with Garuda not including browser sources for some reason??? but there was another one available which did, so switched over to that relatively seamlessly
Not having the Stream Deck or SAMMI to make things easy
The Internet connection just randomly fucking dying in the middle of the stream
The seed being absolute garbo

At least the "it being Linux" part of things basically went just fine. I still have some work to do to make it work just like in Windows, but it's a good start.

Linux streaming great, only issue I've had is getting livesplit running sucks shit. I didn't find a replacement that ran natively on linux and it's real fucky on wine.

Cool thing is you can really actually Never Update OBS Ever. So once you get it working the way you like, it's set.

Have you tried Urn? I found it on AlternativeTo. Haven't had the opportunity to try it myself yet, though. The only thing I really ever try to run is Super Smash TV.

I know older versions for linux did not have a proper browser source. I used to have to use a 3rd-party plugin, but any up to date one will have them now.

The other thing to watch out for is making sure NVENC encoding is supported if you have a recent-enough graphics card. I know the flatpak version isn't able to access it for some reason

The bundled version was the latest one, actually, 30.0.0. However, there was obs-studio (bundled) and also obs-studio-stable available. I switched to the stable one, and voilà, browser sources. Not sure what the deal is.

I am also using NVENC, but that is a good point to check for. I tend to use native packages whenever possible, and Flatpak only if it's the single option.
