From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

Not a camera suggestion, but cameractrls, is a great piece of software to tweak all camera related things on Linux.

I've been searching for a way to control my Kiyo X on Fedora. This is great. Thank you.

Are you happy with the Kiyo X?

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Very. Pretty affordable and it just works. Granted, I don't do much streaming or recording off of it, but have been complimented several times in meetings over Zoom, Zoho Meetings and Teams. The highest setting is 1080p@30 and I've had no issues at all.

It has a mic, but I don't recall ever using it as Webcam microphones are known to be horrible.
