Question / Help OBS for OpenGL 3.0?

Hello,

My computer only supports OpenGL 3.0, so I can not run the standard OBS edition for Linux. Is there an archive of older versions of OBS for Linux that don't support 3.1+? If not, is there a way that I can disable some functions of the application that only support 3.1+? I would need this version to be at least semi-stable, enough that I stream without too much lag and tearing. I do not need audio.

Thanks in advance.

I don't want to sacrifice important OpenGL features. If your machine is dated to the point to where 3.2 is supported I would assume that live encoding is probably also going to be very difficult as well even if I were to downgrade the technology. I highly recommend getting a system that support 3.2+.

Type glxinfo | grep "OpenGL" in terminal.

Look for OpenGL core profile version string: 4.2 (Core Profile) Mesa 19.2.8
In this case, OpenGL version used by the system is 4.2 (I'm using Intel HD 4000).

Note that you might have (as I have) a string that says OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 19.2.8 however that version of OpenGL is not being used. The core profile version is what counts.
