Yeah illegal stuff and Singapore should never be in the same sentence.

Either move the VPS to being hosted somewhere with no interest in enforcing copyright law (Africa, South America, some parts of Asia like Cambodia, Kazakhstan etc) or put a VPN on the VPS so your IP shows as being somewhere less regulated than SGP

Try using OBS for the screen capture, it should work with hardware acceleration on. Install on yr existing windows system.

If not try downloading a linux mint iso and burning that to a usb (instructions on the mint homepage). It’s a “live” boot you can just boot off it and try without installing. I’m fairly sure you can boot it, install OBS on it and then test a screen capture (ie open a browser, start prime, open obs and start a screen capture). Be aware you’ve made a bottleneck on the USB (slow throughput compared to ssd) so you won’t go long before it chokes through not being able to write fast enough. Proof of concept.

However if it works then look at installing a dual boot mint next to windows a full install will use the hard drive and not bottleneck

Basically, it’s free and it won’t break anything to try the live disk. If it works it’ll be a lot cheaper than buying a whole extra Mac

Ok. I have pretty much this use case live and have had for about 4 years. With 5 different elderly users.

My solution: Linux Mint (standard Cinnamon) it’s easy to use and supports pretty much all hardware with no faffing around.

The file browser in default settings doesnt show the dot directories in home. Granny is unlikely to break out any CLI chops but even if she does…

Setup automatic OS updates with automatic timeshift snapshots.

Add the dot directories to the snapshots.

Leave instructions that if they turn it on they have to leave it on for a half hour (so snapshot completes).

That’s it, you’re good. Setup a remote access software if you can’t just walk across the road to provide support.

Real world they’ve never broken anything more significant than deleting an icon they still wanted on the desktop.
