Two months ago, the OBS v26.1.1 It came with an important first for Linux users: initial support to be able to record the screen in Wayland, something they said would work better in the Flatpak version of the software. A few hours ago has arrived NOTE Studio 27.0, and they mention again as one of their star novelties that it includes support for Wayland, but now it is complete and nothing experimental. This is good news for many users, among which are those of a GNOME that has used this graphical server for a long time.
Another novelty that has come with OBS Studio 27.0 is that have included undo / redo options, something that we can see in all types of editors, whether they are audio, images, music, text or video. The project says that «OBS has many moving parts, allowing you to create very advanced and complex productions. This also means that one wrong move can lead to hours of readjustments and tinkering.«.
