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.

Screenshot tool for GNOME + Wayland (lemmy.world)

Can you recommend me a tool compatible with GNOME and Wayland, that allows taking screenshots with on-the-fly editing features like drawing or blurring?

Flameshot worked well on X11, but unfortunately, it lacks Wayland support. ShareX was a great tool on Windows; now I'm looking for something similar for Wayland.

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.
