OBS Studio or alternative on Pinebook Pro? - charlespine - 07-11-2020

Is there any distro that will run OBS Studio on the Pinebook Pro? If not, any alternative?

OBS should be in the standard repos for Debian.
https://wiki.debian.org/obs-studio

I am partial to danielt's unofficial Debian Installer thread - with an installer for correct debootstrap of 64-bit. His installer - on git - works for 64/32, Buster (Stable)/Bullseye(Unstable)/Sid(Experimental) - depending on tweaks to the script files, and even allows for encrypted LUKS rootfs.

If you are more comfortable with the Ubuntu packaging, OBS is also in the Ubuntu repos and a guide for that is here:

To install 64-bit Ubuntu on the PBP, Syonyk wrote a good, complete guide here:

Both of these alternatives will give you a pretty standard Linux experience with some kind of Gnome environment, largely comparable to their Intel-hosted brethren - with some restraints and constrictions due to platform differences (Appimage packages usually don't run, Netflix/Amazon restricted content unavailable for 64-bit, without tweaks, etc.).

I believe I tried OBS on those distro’s. After installing and running OBS, I received an error message mention that it couldn't find a compatible GPU. So curious if anybody has OBS working...especially the virtualcam filter. I'm looking for good solutions for green screen videos.

Access to the VPU and GPU is still work in progress.
