Naw, Linux is easy, until OBS won't start virtual camera because V4L has dependency on the previous kernel which is pretty old.

if you did't run it right after the update, you might not even put together it was a kernel issue.

No easy errors, start obs from cli see v4l errors out, start digging into v4l, it's not hard, but you have to know about it, then you have to know grub well enough to select an old kernel.
