OBS Studio 32.2.0 has been released, providing significant updates for Linux users, particularly addressing a critical PipeWire fix for NVIDIA GPUs that resolves screen capture issues on Wayland. The update introduces VAAPI AV1 support for WHIP streaming, enabling hardware-accelerated encoding with modern streaming setups, as well as a redesigned source dialog and dynamic bitrate support. While the release improves functionality, it is currently only officially packaged for Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04, leaving users of other distributions to compile from source. Although there are ongoing issues with Wayland flickering on high-end NVIDIA cards, switching to X11 or safe mode offers a workable solution
