I am using Linux Mint on my laptop, it's an easy to use distro that I have happily used for a few years.
OBS Studio is free screen casting software that works great to record windows or the screen.
Use wmctrl to set window sizes for recording.
List windows
wmctrl -l
Resize window
wmctrl -r "Content | Andrew's Classes — Mozilla Firefox" -e 0,0,0,1920,1080
I use ffmpeg to compress videos before uploading, this makes a huge difference in file size.
ffmpeg -i input.mkv output.mp4
