Hi, I am looking for video clipping tool that record the last 60 seconds or so from any game I play, but on Linux. Software such as MedalTV, Nvidia ShadowPlay(i have AMD card) etc… is what I am on the lookout for. I know OBS is one option, probably the best(?), but are there any other suggestions?
Any tips or suggestions appreciated :)
Any one knows a powerful video editing software easy to use? Im currently looking looking at KDLive which seems to run on linux but still!
From what I know most people will recommend KDENLive and Davinci Resolve, the latter being the more modern solution - from what I have heard.

while davinci resolve is probably pretty top shelf as editor, just be mindful of limitations, namely: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve#MP4,_H.264,_H.265_and_AAC_Support
Unless you feel like buying the studio version, you can’t really use h264/h265 video codecs. For me this is pretty much a dealbreaker as I don’t have hardware which could encode eg. AV1 video reasonably - and I really don’t want to transcode recordings to different formats for editing.
It depends on the tasks you are planning to do.
Here is a list with a bunch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Multimedia#Video_editors I tested most of them. While they all work fine, I had better experience with the flatpak versions when available.
If you just want to do some quick cutting, trimming or merging - LosslessCut https://mifi.no/losslesscut/
I use ffmpeg from terminal for quick stuff that I do often. Like resizing a video, cutting, getting an image from a frame.
Lightworks and DaVinci resolve are industry standard, but require a license to use most of it. The problem with their free version is the limitation of input and output formats. Ideal if you are making movies/going professional. I prefer DaVinci Resolve, keep an eye for hardware sale, sometimes it comes with a license bundled - Speed Editor being the cheapest.
Kdenlive is well-rounded, from the open source is the most robust, and with most maintainers. I use it mostly for gameplay and to add voice over to videos.
For recording voice over and sound FX, there is nothing better than Ardour https://ardour.org/
Natron is great for Visual FX, you can also use Blender for pretty much everything.
Man very thorough list of ressources, definitely saving and rechecking this :D
Olive is hardware accelerated and if pretty stable nowadays.
I use shotcut and it works well for basic video editing.
