    Funny enough it’s also one of the few places Windows was kicking Linux’s ass on a feature

    Finding a passable replacement for the snip tool was probably the biggest issue I had moving to Linux unironically, tookultiple tries of many tools, a lot of config, and it still takes an extra click over Snip

    I use it all day at work and then get home and miss it when I wanna clip funny shit in my games, then remember it’s a different keybind with an enter keypress

      Flameshot (my auto correction changed that to something bad) is golden if you are on Xorg, it’s a little more complicated on the Wayland side of things.

        Interesting, I tried like 5 tools and Flameshot (my fucking autocorrect also made it flame shit lol) never once came up

        Gonna give it a go when I get home

        I really do like being back on Linux but it’s this “someone only tells me about the exact software I need once I whine about it 3 weeks later on a different fucking Forum” that gets exhausting, lol

        Holy shit. Just downloaded it and it’s got a lot of great features. I can’t find the shortcut to actually take a screenshot though. Do you have to click the icon in the panel?

          Yeah you do. But you can set a hotkey in your DE for that, just execute flameshot when you press print, that’s what I do.

          Sadly, I’m on Wayland and it doesn’t really work well yet there, last time I checked at least. Flameshot is amazing.
