I’m using a HP Elitebook 8470p. I am able to run OBS Studio on Windows 10, so I don’t think it is a hardware issue. Every time I run obs it shows a window saying “Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may need to be updated.” I read a lot of forum posts with the same error but I still can’t find the solution for mine. Most of 'em are about switching from their integrated graphics to nvidia it isn’t the case for me. I tried reinstalling obs with flatpak and snap, replaced mesa with mesa amber, still nothing. Also, tried switched to 6.1 LTS kernel, still nothing.
Currently using obs from official repo and mesa, terminal output when I run obs:
