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.

Can't remember if it's a default keybinding or if I changed it, but I use shift+meta+s to select a rectangle of the screen to copy. In KDE I have to select "copy" from the notification hamburger menu, Xfce I configured to automatically copy it to the clipboard. Then you can upload the selection to Discord and other apps with ctrl+v. Just meta+s copies the entire screen but I use that much less often.
Try Flameshot for screenshots! I bound it to my printscreen key.
