Wayland Kubuntu has a screen capture option in OBS. Here:

It's missing from Mint, though. How can I make it show up there? I'd rather not go back to Kubuntu just for this.

By the way, this is how I installed OBS:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt update
sudo apt install obs-studio

According to OBS forums, you might want to install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package, then reboot your system.
