Answers.Body: <p>If you have a compatible Nividia GPU then Nvidia Shadowplay is a great screen recorder, it can do 4K at 60fps with a 50MBPS bitrate, has low CPU usuage and is free. It can also capture the last 5-20 minutes of what was on your screen. The file sizes can get a bit big but you can reduce the quality to what you want and can delete the video files after making the video that used the footage. All other software others have mentioned are also very good.</p>

  Afterwards, run it from a terminal, using the desired filename as an argument:

  Stop recording by pressing `Ctrl` + `C` in the terminal.
