Webcams can easily be adjusted on OBS on both Windows and Linux. Same as other hardware, proprietary software might not be available. The Blue Yeti is also a great option without any software. I use an AT2020 USB and have no issues, it works out of of the box with alsamixer and does not require any specific software. Your microphone will work(most likely) on Linux, but if you use any proprietary software to adjust it, it might not be available. You will notice Blackmagic products are more expansive, but they are also higher quality. I personally use a Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K, but I used to have an Elgato HD60 Pro on Windows, but I got rid of it due to no Linux support. You do not need any additional plugin for OBS, once you install that package you will be able to add a blackmagic device source. Blackmagic Design does offer Linux support and the drivers can be found in the AUR, the package is called decklink. Let’s start with capture cards, both Elgato and AverMedia do not have Linux support. If you use hardware that requires proprietary drivers/software, it might not support Linux. I suggest simply opening a tab in your browser on your dashboard. The dashboard/alert software by StreamLabs (not SLOBS, the old TwitchAlerts) also does not support Linux.
Desktop capture seems to make proton games laggy, I would suggest to avoid it. OBS on Linux also has no game capture, just use window capture to capture your game. There are no other steps required after installing it you will be able to paste the StreamLabs link in the web browser source as you would on Windows. I personally use obs-linuxbrowser-bin (used to be called linuxbrowser), there is also a standard version and a git version. Thankfully there are user created browsers in the AUR. Here is the twist, there is no web browser in OBS Studio on Linux. Essentially you create the alerts, jar, etc just as you would on the app and then copy the URL address and paste it in the CLR browser/web browser. You will have to use those from their website in the same fashion you would using OBS Studio on Windows. OBS Studio does not have all the built in tools SLOBS has for creating alerts, testing them, the bot, etc. The package is in the repos and called obs-studio. On Linux, only OBS Studio is available as SLOBS is a proprietary software and for windows 10. On Windows you would either use StreamLabs OBS(SLOBS) or OBS Studio. This was made for Arch Linux, but can adapted to other distributions. The process being different from Windows, I decided to write a little guide for it. I’ve been using Linux for the past 5 years as a daily driver and also streaming on Twitch.
