It will be so great if there are great piece of LAG-Free hardware game capture device for Linux!
I suggest these things:
PC-free
No CPU burden
Have place for 2.5 HDD/SSD, SD Card, USB portable HDD/SSD
Hardware encoder (H.264)- youtube ready video
USB 2.0/3.0
HDMI input/output
60 FPS record
Many resolution support as possible

Maybe this can be integrated in Steam-link?
We need something like Elgato HD 60, but PC-Free/Linux supported.

That is with non-official drivers and support only 30 FPS in HD+ resolutions.
We need something from VALVE, original and with official Linux support.

A lot of the others are platform agnostic, only the (editing/streaming) tools that come with them are windows/mac only, and can be easily replaced by Linux versions.
