A few days ago, I barely knew what Linux was. But when I installed Linux Mint, Most of the stuff was wonderful; It was not the case of screen recording.
I first wanted to record with OBS, using pretty good quality and with MP4 as output format. I recorded what I wanted to record, but when I saw the recording, there were black flashings in different parts of the screen, and the interface also dissappeared and re-appeared like in flashings.
"Strange" I said. So, I used much lower quality and MKV as output format. I had the same result.
"Then the software is wrong" I thought. So I installed Simple Screen Recorder. Tried with all the different settings, but, even if it was much less glitchy, I was still getting the same glitches.
So I tried with Kazam. No different results.
"It must be the media player" I said. So, I tried with VLC, and even with YouTube, but there was no difference.
I uploaded an example glitched recording to YouTube, you can see it by going here: EDIT: I am not allowed to post URLs.
I will also leave the message that the terminal sent me after writing the command Inxi-Fxzd:
