OBS is an absolute powerhouse, an amazing example of what OSS can do
- And so user friendly, too!
  
  Nice to have a good UI that doesn't encourage me to type in a bunch of bullshit.

Didn't HEVC work by default for Years now?
- Last time I tried it, HEVC was not on the mainline Linux builds, you had to build it from source with it enabled or use a plugin for it.
OBS rocks!
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. :(
huh... couldn't you already get those through gstreamer or vaapi?
- Those can do the heavy lifting, but OBS still has to ask them to do it.
  
  yeah, but i mean, i already had the option to use those in OBS!
- Are you saying something else users will have to learn and configure themselves to get working?
  
  no, it was available as an option in OBS already...
