I came to find out the best Linux version of OBS was through snap, so I tried setting up snap on Linux Mint and didn't like the results. I didn't like needing another method of monitoring updating because Mint doesn't play nicely with snap by default. So I went on an adventure to find an OS that played nice with snap! I tried Manjaro and that running for a week until I tried to actually it and reason, the sound drivers broke during the stream. I then tried it on another laptop and had that running, until the GPU drivers decided they didn't want to play nicely with OBS. I really don't like Arch Linux nor Arch-based distros. So I did more research and found out Zorin OS plays nicely with both flatpak and snap out of the box on their latest beta, so I am testing that out now.

Edit: want to add that I also tried KDE Neon for like 2 days and KDE still doesn't play nice with my GPU. It was actually fun and I would be using it now if it didn't require additional work just keep running.
God I despite snaps so much. What do you mean by snap having the best version of OBS? I thought flatpak had the best version due to it including a patch for Wayland support back when mainline OBS didn't.

I really don't have any strong feelings towards snap and it just seems to get the job done for what I need. The flatpak version was missing some features, like being able to embed web links and desktop sound capture. You can install these missing but the snap version has all of the features by default. I can try/use both on Zorin OS, which is actually the reason why I am using Zorin OS now and why I looked for an OS that had both enabled either by default or optionally enabled. Right now I am trying to set this laptop up as having everything I need for streaming and just having the most simple method possible to maintain updates.
