Hey! I’ve been wanting to make the switch to Linux for a while now, and I’ve dual booted Mint for a while. I realize that most games work well with Linux, but I can’t seem to get my Elgato HD60 Pro to work. (Pci-e capture card)

I just want to be able to grab gameplay with HDMI passthrough on Linux, and right now, this is my biggest hurdle (along with Adobe not working well, but I’m gonna switch to davinci resolve for that)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

      I might have to retract the “flawless” part of my “sales pitch”. I tried to make it spontaneously work on my work laptop using Fedora and it did in fact, not work. To visually show how it should work, I made a picture with an iPad where it actually does work with my work desktop with 2560x1440 resolution, 60fps. But, it did worked in the past, so I am fairly certain I just suck at using my device. If it would work it appears just as any other capture card…as weird webcam device.

      But as said, you need a splitter before the card and then one output into the card. I actually spend a minute to locate a non-black HDMI cable just for you! https://imgur.com/a/BvZDZRJ

        I really appreciate it. Thank you. I like that it can capture ipads and devices like that too.

        Thanks for using a non-black cable too :)
