Is there a Linux alternative that allows me to film portion of the desktop and do neat little arrow annotations live and everything?

Peek can film portion of the screen but probably can't do annotations https://github.com/phw/peek

Thank you. I use SimpleScreenRecorder for this at the moment.

Yes it doesn't do annotations. It is still very useful though, been using it for years.
