What is WHIP? Intro to WebRTC Streaming Part 1
For those of you who are overwhelmed with the official IETF document, WHIP (sometimes known as WISH) is an open standard that you can use right now for your WebRTC based ingestion. You can use it today with open source software such as GStreamer or OBS (fork) as a way to publish your content with WebRTC.

Looking for self hosted screen sharing/streaming solution
There are a few other WebRTC based solutions. There's a fork of OBS that allows streaming out using WebRTC. I think that only supports millicast.com, which I believe is not open source. There are a few other servers that handle WebRTC, but I don't know if any are WebRTC.

OBS->OBSNinja->OBS without virtual webcam
What you'd want is for OBS to output the WebRTC stream itself, rather than going through the webcam interface for this. This is not natively available, but there is a project that claims to do this: https://github.com/CoSMoSoftware/OBS-studio-webrtc

Streaming on Linux: Beginner
I'd recommend you to look for obs-vaapi and obs-gstreamer as plugins to utilize GPU encoding on OBS. On Flatpak they're available as OBS plugins you can install alongside the Flatpak version of OBS.

GStreamer VAAPI Ubuntu Issues
I wanted to start experimenting with GPU recording on my Ubuntu machine and saw this video from GloriousEggroll demonstrating VAAPI working better than ever using the obs-gstreamer plugin, which would now be the standalone obs-vaapi plugin. I'm running Ubuntu 22.10 and the latest stable version of OBS from the ppa. As instructed, I checked the VAAPI version on my system with vainfo, got this.

How usable is AMD hardware encoding (or any alternative to Nvidia)
On Nvidia you'd use obs-gstreamer (it's the same but obs-vaapi has only the vaapi part, not the entire implementation) because vaapi isn't supported by Nvidia.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 - Entire gameplay using Nvidia on Wayland, obs-gstreamer for recording and it's just 60FPS all the time with no issues
Plus, since my Crysis 3 gameplay I'm using obs-gstreamer which fixed the crappy ffmpeg performance while recording with hardware encoding.

Pop_OS: Streaming on Twitch using OBS - All capture methods result in a poor/lagging stream and/or game.
Try obs-gstreamer plugin... I'll write the easy way tomorrow if you don't know how to compile and install it, but if you can read then it's fine

VAAPI is AWESOME NOW with this new linux OBS plugin. Noticed this yesterday after a system update.
The video description is a bit misleading. You need this OBS plugin in addition to installing gstreamer-vaapi.
