We can use OBS Studio for complex audio and video editing. However, it can also be used for simple screen recording for building tutorials. For that we can install OBS studio using snap via:

1. Install Snap and OBS Studio via snap:

   sudo dnf install snapd
   sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
   sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
   sudo snap install obs-studio
   
   #Connect additional interfaces for full functionality:
   sudo snap connect obs-studio:alsa
   sudo snap connect obs-studio:audio-record
   sudo snap connect obs-studio:camera
   sudo snap connect obs-studio:removable-media

Screen Recording

After installation we can use OBS Studio to record screen via:

1. Add source screen capture pipewire
2. Against Mic/Aux Choose triple dot (...) for options and go to Filters. Add Noise suppression
3. Chose filter "RNNoise (good quality, more CPU usage)" option

   Ctl+Alt+P

   Unpause recording
