## Note
This software works with x11 and wayland, but when using AMD/Intel or Wayland then only monitors can be recorded.\
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.\
CPU usage may be higher on wayland than on x11 when using nvidia.
