 Ffmpeg's screen recording capabilities are in my experience the most
 efficient on Linux, allowing under-powered devices such as laptops to
 screen record effectively.
 But this functionality is hampered by being X11 only due to using x11grab
 and probably more technical parts I'm not aware of.
 I am a user, not a developer, I'm sure I missed technical details,
 eitherway.

 This is the ideal moment for adding support for screen recording using the
 Linux Wayland stack (Pipewire, XDG Portals) as most Linux developers are
 desperate to complete the migration from X11 to Wayland, going as far as
 removing X11 from Fedora KDE in the next version.
 They feel it's ready for widespread use and time for porting is running
 out before bug trackers get flooded with bug reports.


 The current behavior of screen recording with ffmpeg on wayland is a black
 screen as output.
