Help me, I just installed OBS

It's already saved. It records directly to a file. Set the path to that file in Settings -> Output, *before* you start recording.
You can load the recorded video file as a Media source, or you can use the Replay buffer in Settings -> Output -> Advanced mode -> Replay buffer.

Ubuntu PPA Installation Instructions
The Linux version of OBS is still under development and contains many bugs, but if you're feeling brave, and can install Ubuntu PPAs, then you can give this a try. If you're on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, you'll first need to install FFmpeg: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kirillshkrogalev/ffmpeg-next sudo...
