The program doesn`t detect the camera
#3
If your kernel is reasonably recent, applications that work with libcamera should work (sorta… the video will likely end up rotated, but at least you get video), assuming libcamera is installed to begin with. But many applications still do not work properly with the libcamera stack (e.g., because they use v4l2 directly, or they use GStreamer but hardcode the v4l2 source there). Those that use the highest-level abstraction (Pipewire) should just work, but that is a very new API, so not many applications are ported to it yet. GStreamer applications may or may not work depending on what assumptions they make.

But if you use an ancient kernel like the Mobian stable (bookworm) one, chances are libcamera will not work at all.
