Big announcement recently that obs studio now builds out to a flatpak, hopefully making it easier for all of us to install, especially us near normies that don’t regularly compile anything from source.

I did not have flatpak installed so the first thing I had to do was get the [38;2;167;192;128mflatpak[0m command installed, and add their default repo.

[38;2;122;132;120m[code][0m
  sudo apt install flatpak
  flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Once I had flatpak, I was able to get obs installed with the following command.

[38;2;122;132;120m[code][0m
  flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio

Once Installed it fired right up for me with the next command they suggested.

[38;2;122;132;120m[code][0m
  flatpak run com.obsproject.Studio

Pretty straightforward, following the instructions given it all worked for me, but it was missing a lot of the plugins that the current snap package I am using gives me (namely virtual webcam). So I am not ready to jump onto it until I figure out how to manage my own obs plugins. For now I think the snap is working just well enough.
