### TEMPORARY ISSUES
1) Recording the monitor on steam deck might fail sometimes. This happens even when using ffmpeg directly. This might be a steam deck driver bug. Recording a single window doesn't have this issue.
2) Videos created on AMD/Intel are in variable framerate format. Use MPV to play such videos, otherwise you might experience stuttering in the video if you are using a buggy video player. Try saving the video into a .mkv file instead when using AMD/Intel, as some software may have better support for .mkv files (such as kdenlive).
+### AMD/Intel/Wayland root permission
+When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor (or when using wayland) the program needs root permission (to access KMS).\
+To make this safer, the part that needs root access has been moved to its own executable (to make it as small as possible).\
+For you as a user this only means that if you installed GPU Screen Recorder as a flatpak then a prompt asking for root password will show up when you start recording.
