This OBS Studio Portable container is built with Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is one of the supported Linux targets by upstream OBS. The OBS Studio Portable container is a ready-to-run, batteries included turn-key solution.

I am a NixOS user and nixpkgs maintainer. I've been working on adding more OBS plugins to nixpkgs and fixing OBS Studio in nixpkgs, but it needs more work:

- For me, it is missing some plugins I rely on and some of the OBS plugins in nixpkgs do not work. I am actively working on this.

- FDK ACC doesn't work in OBS in nixpkgs and the ffmpeg version is not fully API compatible with OBS, meaning some presets do not work. On my list to fix.

- CEF in nixpkgs is not ABI compatible with OBS and cause OBS to segfault when authenticating Twitch. Again, on my list of things to fix.

I have a long history of building a custom OBS Studio on Ubuntu, so decided to make this OBS Studio container with my friends in the Universal Blue project, to get myself a complete OBS setup I can use on NixOS while I continue to work on OBS related fixes in nixpkgs :-)
