This one is hilarious. It's on a Linux centric site, written by a

it really turns into a "why on earth would I want to run Linux" post.
Only he doesn't get it.
Like I said, hilarious.

This part is
hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

A couple of hours a day and after a few months?
Is he ****ing kidding?
Most people don't last a day with Linux after trying it.
Linux is that bad.

"The truth is that, at first, it will be hard, and you will encounter
many issues. Prepare to search the Internet for many tutorials, join
forums of the Linux distribution you're migrating to and ask
questions on how to do various things. My suggestion is to install
Linux on a different computer, or use a dual-boot setup - though many
will encounter issues with that - and access it from time to time,
1-2 hours per day, and after a few months, you will know if you can
really make the switch."
Does anyone know if there exists some decent screencasting software
for Linux?

Try these

There's a list here too.

But this is not an easy topic. If you're picky, you
can always find something wrong with the programs.
For example, the ones that do heavy compression,
the captured image might look "too soft". The ones
that do no compression, the data rate is too high.
Or the lip sync is broken. Or there's no sound.
Or if you make an AVI file, if the file is bigger
than 4GB, it gets corrupted (only FFMPEG works right).


This works great:

(Multiplatform obs)

However, it is in beta (or perhaps one might call it "early access"),
though there is an Ubuntu PPA for it.

By long-standing tradition, I take this opportunity to savage other
