Also, my $250 elgato capture card doesn't support Linux.

Which one? We use a few Elgato capture cards with OBS on Linux at work and all of them are bog-standard UVC video devices.

I played minecraft with my spouse

Check out Prism Launcher if you play Java Minecraft. It allows you to easily manage multiple Minecraft versions. Modded, unmodded, different versions, etc..

    I think you are right about the Elgato PCI-e models not working on Linux unfortunately.

    In case you are ever in the market for a new capture card in the future:

    99.9% of USB capture cards work out of the box. Alternatively, if it has to be PCI-e: Blackmagic provides first-class Linux drivers for their PCI-e cards.

    We use some Blackmagic cards for larger projects and for the smaller ones we use Elgato USB capture cards.
