I'm running Fedora 35 with an Nvidia Q1000 graphics card, using the Nvidia drivers. I'm use X rather than Wayland:
$ loginctl list-sessions SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 5 1000 lars seat0 tty2
1 sessions listed. $ loginctl show-session 5 | grep Type Type=x11
I would like to use OBS Studio to produce some videos, but I have been unable to get the "Window Capture" feature to produce anything but a black rectangle. I've tried capturing both Chrome and gnome-terminal windows without success.
I have tried with and without the "Use alpha-less texture format" checkbox checked.
Has anyone been able to get this to work successfully?

I use obs to capture snippets of video from the browser occasionally or a game sequence (I think that is window capture). Nothing sophisticated like it is capable of doing. I press the hot key sequence to start, and then stop, and it just works. I also use X, but I am using an amd card, so the driver is in the kernel. I don't think that should make a difference.
I remember changing the hot key sequence in the running application itself because there was a collision with something else, and also setting the save directory from the running application. I just looked, and I can't find where those settings are saved. The main settings are in ~/.config/obs-studio, but I didn't see anything like hot keys there. I vaguely recall that there are videos for how to use it online, so that might be something you could try.
