With that kind of hardware power you can not tell me that it couldn't support OBS in some fashion. The Google Pixelbook offers an i5 or i7 processor. My HP Chromebook x360 14 has 8gb ram, 64gb HD, Google Play support, Linux support, Intel i3 8th gen processor, Intel UHD 620 graphics card with touchscreen and 4k capabilities. Trying to say that chromebook hardware is underpowered and would not support running OBS is completely biased on there part and shows that they do not follow technology very well. Both worked great on my HP Chromebook x360 14. I streamed android based Retroarch emulator to Facebook Live today and streamed MLB 9 Innings 19 yesterday to Facebook Live. Seeing as ChromeOS uses Wayland I suspect it may be related to this bug in the tracker ->

With a XSHM screen capture is successfully captures the mouse cursor, but that's all. After all, many people say Linux is just for servers, yet OBS brings a lot of value to many Linux users.Įdit: Off the back of this thread I decided to install OBS on this Chromebook and give it a try. Whether ChromeOS' graphics stack is suitable for being targeted by future of OBS I couldn't say, but please let's not rule out this very capable operating system because of some precognition about what it is for.

I myself am a software engineer and roughly a year ago I moved from a Dell XPS running Debian Linux and an Apple Macbook Pro to a ChromeOS Pixelbook with no trouble for my work.

I'd just like to add a little note challenging the idea that ChromeOS is limited and only for low power hardware and only for simple web browsing.ĬhromeOS is capable of running ChromeOS apps, Android apps, and Linux applications and as a result has a robust ecosystem suited for many tasks.
