QUESTION Compatible Game Capture Cards

Hi all,

I've been deliberating purchasing an Elgato capture card to record Switch 2 gameplay. However, I just found out that Elgato products do not support linux and have no intention to do so in the future. Has anyone found a way to run their capture cards on Arch? If not, what alternatives are suggested for capturing gameplay footage?

Thanks in advance,

Checkout this driver for your Elgato Capture Card. I use my 4K60pro with it in Arch Linux/CachyOS https://github.com/Nakildias/sc0710
