If you are

- recording your screen but not streaming

- you are not customizing what goes into your screen

Then use something else. GPU screen recorder has a lower overhead and produces much smoother recordings: https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/

Looks neat but seems like a complete hassle to get up and running and maintain, unless if your goal is to learn how screen recorders work.

The linked post is about a new Metal-based renderer for OBS Studio on MacOS. The software you linked is for Linux.

Does anyone know if AMD 8845HS with 780M graphics (running fedora) can into this? Ideally very low system resources used, I only have 16GB RAM, also ideally very little storage space used, one or two frames per second is enough, ideally should compress even more if nothing has changed in the screen for a while, also ideally should create a new file every eight hours or so.

NVIDIA has a "lower overhead" screen recorder, no? It's alt + f9 or something. AFAIK It's supposed to be optimized, because they own the stack and all. It's probably only on Windows though.

Why not just use quicktime?

Edit: I think you might have skipped reading the post. It's about OBS on MacOS. Where quicktime exists. Your suggestion seems geared toward Linux.
