      nvidia-like instant replay, where only the last few minutes are saved

      Do you know how this works on a technical level? What i mean is, does it just write the recording to RAM and only save it to the drive if you press "record"? Or does it constantly write to your drive? Because the latter would kinda suck for drive lifetime.

      EDIT:

      Nvm found it on the git repo:
      https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/

      The replay buffer is stored in ram (as encoded video), so don't use a too large replay time and/or video quality unless you have enough ram to store it.

      So yeah as long as you have a couple GB of ram to spare while playing, it will be fine.

        There is a setting for exactly this. It defaults to writing to RAM, but you can change it to drive, which they do not recommend. I did not try it out yet. Edit: BTW, it should be noted that this background recording only works in the new Nvidia like GUI. I could not find it in the classic GTK GUI.

            No problem. I'm just fast and furious. 😛 BTW if you play on Steam, you don't need this, because Steam already has such a functionality builtin now. Just sayin here. For all other cases, this is an excellent tool. It seems like, I'm new to it too.

                Steam’s recording is perfect for me, I mostly use this tool when I’m grabbing dev clips!

                  The only little thing that bugs me in the moment is, that I don't get a tray icon to show if its recording or not. The icon appears with the old GTK gui, but not when using the Nvidia like gui. Do you have any such issues? If that is an issue at all or is this a design choice?

                    I haven’t tried the new gui yet! And I use elementary so I haven’t had tray icons for years, afraid I’m not much help 😆
