I use SimpleScreenRecorder (which is also mentioned in the footnote of the article). It really is simple to use and light weight. I used to manually select area to record (with border outside the window to record) until I searched and found a solution using ffmpeg to add the border. So, now I just use the select window option. I also use Auto-Editor (https://github.com/WyattBlue/auto-editor) to prune silent portions.

Others here mentioned carykh's jumpcutter. I tried to get it to install but couldn't, then discovered it hasn't been updated in a long time. There's even an issue with links to alternatives and forks: https://github.com/carykh/jumpcutter/issues/180 I tried out Auto-editor [1] and it works great for what I needed! Although for "removing" silence, I prefer to increase play speed instead of jump cutting. [1]: https://github.com/WyattBlue/auto-editor
