SimpleScreenRecorder - Does as the title says
Let's start with a spoiler. Recording one's desktop in Linux is a fairly easy task. There are tons of tools that can do the job. Over the years, I've tested perhaps half a dozen of them, and even wrote a bunch of articles, both tutorials and reviews, right here on Dedoimedo. But I last did that in anger around 2010-ish. An infinity ago in Internet terms.
Indeed, it has been quite a while since I last had an actual need to record my Linux desktop session screen. But the need did arise, and I wondered whether to go back to my oldies and hopefully still goldies or start from scratch. I opted for the latter, as it makes for a better blog post material. So let's have a look at a lovely little program called SimpleScreenRecorder, which will be our hero savior of the day.
