I have a linux machine, which has a better GPU.
Can I just capture the screen and record the audio in mac, and then use the linux machine as the backend of screenpipe? such as ocr ?

it is possible but not well documented: #339

just created bounty to document it well: #446

Thank you. However, it appears that it takes a considerable amount of time.

Could you kindly provide me with a simplified explanation of how to proceed?

I am a physics researcher with some coding skills, but I am unfamiliar with this project and am unsure of where to begin.

would letting you use a remote whisper engine be acceptable? (e.g. running on your own linux for transcription)

why do you need energy? don't you use a charger?

in what use case do you unplug the machine?

would you use cloud AI for transcription? (it reduce energy usage)
