Hi guys, total Garuda (and thus Arch) newbie here.
I've been distro hopping a LOT ever since I expressed dissatisfaction with Windows 11, version 22H2, and to an extent, Windows 10 as well. I've been hopping between Ubuntu (official) and Fedora (Nobara). Finally decided to give Garuda a shot, and I must say, I'm very impressed.
Enough of that though, I approach yalls with a question. Has anyone gotten AMD AMF encoders to work on their copies of OBS? If so, can you please detail how you did it? Currently I'm using GStreamer's VAAPI plugin and I'm still not satisfied, having fairly poor quality at 25 Mbps bitrate (and I do not know how to add CQP to the encoder settings, as the window still insists on inputting bitrate despite selecting CQP).
garuda-inxi incoming!
