From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seems they need some updates. OBS, Zoom and Xfce are all happy to work toward Wayland, and OBS/Zoom both work pretty well on it, so 🤷
And no telling what else has changed since; checks notes; 2016?
Obs works fine for me, what's the issue,?
There really isn’t one. Wayland is maturing and app support is following.
This is the way things always go in open source. I’m betting soon there will be a distro that will announce a never Wayland stance just like Devuan prior.
last i checked (a week ago) screen capture in OBS wasn't working on Wayland KDE
It works. You simply need the kde portal and pipewire installed
It's been working for a while unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by screen capture. But I've been using OBS on KDE Wayland capturing via portals for months now with issues.
I just tried it. Create a "Screen capture (PipeWire)" source, there's a popup asking you to pick a display or "Full Workspace" which shares everything.
