From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use a cheap hdmi splitter and a cheap usb capture stick and it works very well, although I don't use anything more than 1080p60. No idea how to get Elgato hardware working, though. They don't seem to have great Linux support.
ElGato is famous for just not working on Linux.
Elgato does not want Linux users: https://github.com/tolga9009/elgato-gchd/issues/15#issuecomment-610984742
