Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.
Also, my $250 elgato capture card doesn’t support Linux.
Which one? We use a few Elgato capture cards with OBS on Linux at work and all of them are bog-standard UVC video devices.

Check out Prism Launcher if you play Java Minecraft. It allows you to easily manage multiple Minecraft versions. Modded, unmodded, different versions, etc…
I think you are right about the Elgato PCI-e models not working on Linux unfortunately.
In case you are ever in the market for a new capture card in the future:
99.9% of USB capture cards work out of the box. Alternatively, if it has to be PCI-e: Blackmagic provides first-class Linux drivers for their PCI-e cards.
We use some Blackmagic cards for larger projects and for the smaller ones we use Elgato USB capture cards.

That’s good to know. Hoping someone can figure it out. There’s someone who got the m.2 working supposedly. Might see if I can tinker with it.
