Is there an available screen recorder for Linux that can continuously record everything, but only keep the last, for example, 10 minutes in a buffer, and anything older will be discarded?

Sometimes something interesting happens in whatever I’m doing, but replicating it after starting a recorder is hard. I also don’t want to deal with terabytes of video backlog.

Ideally, when something share-worthy has happened, I’d push a button or a magic key combo, and the buffer will be saved to a file.

SOLVED:
ReplaySorcery as suggested by @[email protected] does the job perfectly and just runs unobtrusively in the background after boot.

      Thanks!

      Works perfectly even with proprietary nvidia driver: I now have a test clip of me dicking around in the terminal, followed by launching factorio and war thunder, and then setting up a cronjob to cleanup old recording that I saved but never used.

      NICE!
