Hi everyone, Linux newbie here with Garuda being the second distro I've ever properly used and I'm loving it despite a couple of growing pains. One of those growing pains however is trying to get my hardware encoder to show up in OBS Studio's output settings, right now it's only showing "Software (x264)". I hear this is a common issue with AMD cards in Arch-based distros but I've still yet to find any solid answers that could solve my problem after a lot of searching, so I thought I'd ask for some help here.
I stream purely as a hobby to hang out with friends but I know software encoding can be very finicky even with a pretty good CPU. I must clarify I am using the pre-installed OBS that came with the gaming version of Dr460nized, if there are other versions that can restore hardware encoding then I could swap them both out but I am still very unfamiliar with the AUR and its commands.
