GNOME has one built in. Just hit the "print screen" button and it should appear.
with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring
Oops, sorry I didn't notice that part. I've never seen anything like that to be honest. It kinda violates the whole "do only one thing and do it well" UNIX ethos. As a decent work-around, you can just open the resulting images in Gimp?
That's what I've been doing since flameshot stopped working for me. I ask about the built-in solution, because pasting the image into GIMP and blurring specific parts drastically increases the time to prepare such a screenshot
Couldnt you just put a custom script onto the print button to take the screenshot and send it to a light editing program?
I have my normal screenshot button and another one which afterwards send the selected region to img2txt and puts the detected text into the clipboard.
with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring?
Unfortunately the built-in screenshot tool doesn't have any editing capabilities.
Flameshot has wayland support, however there seems to be some issues that might need to be worked around. Like https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3326#issuecomment-1854902229
I noticed that the Flatpak didn't work on Fedora 39, probably due to how they build the flatpak or something. I had no problem taking screenshots under Fedora 39 Wayland session using the Appimage.
Same. I want to use flatpak instead of the "raw" binary
As flameshot is qt based, did you have the xdg QT portal installed when trying? I think that's what makes the qt stuff talk to other things in a wayland environment.
Did a quick search and ksnip seems to be the only fully featured option. Watershot seems nice.
But also looking into it, Flameshot seems to have full support for Wayland so I'm not sure why you're saying it doesn't?
Unfortunately, neither Grim nor slurp support GNOME
Taking screenshots? What's the use case for that? That's an invalid use case. Didn't you know wayland is only a protocol?
I'm amazed people don't get the reference to Gnome devs here. I'm not even a Gnome user and I got the joke right away.
also, linux is only a kernel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
