## Note
This software works with x11 and wayland, but when using AMD/Intel or Wayland then only monitors can be recorded and root access is required. An authentication window will show up automatically if you have a polkit agent running and pkexec installed.\
If you are using a variable refresh rate monitor on nvidia on x11 then choose to record "screen-direct-force". This will allow variable refresh rate to work when recording fullscreen applications. Note that some applications such as mpv will not work in fullscreen mode. A fix is being developed for this.\
-GPU Screen Recorder only supports h264 and hevc codecs at the moment which means that webm files are not supported.
+GPU Screen Recorder only supports h264 and hevc codecs at the moment which means that webm files are not supported.\
+CPU usage is much higher on wayland than on x11 when using nvidia. This is likely a nvidia driver issue. GPU Screen Recorder is still the fastest
+screen recorder on wayland, but x11 is recommended for nvidia users (in general).
### TEMPORARY ISSUES
1) screen-direct capture has been temporary disabled as it causes issues with stuttering. This might be a nvfbc bug.
2) 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.
