  • Ubuntu Pit How To Write Log Files in RAM Using Log2ram in Linux

    Random Access Memory (RAM) is the central memory unit of a computer system. RAM can process data randomly within a short period of time. RAM is capable of modifying, extract, or store data for a short time. That’s why most often, the RAM is also called the temporary storage device.

  • HowTo Geek How to Capture Your Screen in Linux with OBS Studio

    If you’re on a Linux machine and want to capture your screen, there aren’t as many options as Windows or Mac users have. What we do have, though, is one of the most powerful and also free screen capture programs out there. In this article, I show you how to get started with OBS Studio on Linux.

    Why Use OBS?

    There are some good reasons to use OBS Studio over other screen capture software. The biggest reason is that it’s free, yet still provides a quality experience. While there may be better programs out there, they’re usually paid products which may not be suitable. Free in this case truly means free: there are no ads, no malware, no emails, nothing.

    Secondly, OBS Studio works fine on Linux. Installing it is a breeze and it works without a hitch right after. I’ve been using it for over three years now to record interviews and put together screencasts and never had any issues. There’s plenty of paid software that could learn something from OBS Studio in this regard.
