Xbox Game Bar for Linux? (scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I was a windows user back in 2019 - 2020, and moved over to Linux in 2021. I honestly forgot how i found Linux, and when I was using Windows, I remember using this feature "Game Bar", which I used to make game clips on my PC. Although, when I got my NVIDIA Card the Game Bar Stopped working because of the HDMI cord that modern GPU's use.

The Real Question, is there a program that replicates the Xbox Game bar? I really like the functionality that the game bar provides, and would like to start using it again, but on Linux. I was hoping if anyone knew of such program, or if you know the steps for me to build it myself. I found this Repository where someone made a clone, although it's for Windows, and not what I expected.

I don't know about the full functionality of the game bar, but I know ReplaySorcery does a good job with instant replays in games for me.

This is what I use. The project is dead and had some bugs that kept it running on my system right away, but as it's open source, I was able to fix the code a little bit to success. Just wish it was a little friendlier on cpu or could be selective on which apps to run instead of recording nonstop regardless. I have it start up with Steam for now though.
