Wow the setup for Linux seems to be painfully more complicated than macOS/Windows. Why is that the case?

    And leaves satisfied after dropping his own grain of corporate propaganda. A most fruitful day.

  Yeah for whatever reason webcam tooling on Linux is really dismal.

  You can follow the same steps in Linux as you did for macOS too (OBS is also available for Linux, in fact that how I personally run OBS). The reason the Linux instructions are more verbose is because Linux also supports writing directly to a virtual camera via the command line. Something that’s not so easy to do with macOS. So you can save yourself a lot of lag and system resources by doing so rather than using OBS.
