GET STARTED
Install on Linux.
Clone the project and run the installer as your normal user. Clipdeck will appear in your application menu.
The Arch setup has been tested on a real machine. Capture support also depends on your GPU, driver, desktop session, and screen-sharing portal.
The installer checks dependencies, adds a launcher, and can start background capture at login.
Not tested on Ubuntu or Linux Mint yet. This installation path may need manual fixes.

Install build dependencies
Example packages for Ubuntu 24.04 and Linux Mint 22.

Get GPU Screen Recorder
Build from the official source, then check that both system commands exist.
TerminalGPU Screen Recorder
cd "$HOME"
git clone https://repo.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder
cd gpu-screen-recorder
sudo ./install.sh
command -v gpu-screen-recorder && command -v gsr-cli03
Install Clipdeck
Continue when both commands above print a path.
TerminalArch / CachyOS
git clone https://github.com/Filip1x3/clipdeck.git && cd clipdeck && bash ./install.shKeep the cloned folder in place; the launcher uses its path. Run bash ./install.sh --check to check dependencies first.
The Flatpak alone does not expose gpu-screen-recorder and gsr-cli on the host for Clipdeck. Check the upstream dependency list if the source build fails.
