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 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.

Try Satty? It's inspired by flameshot, Wayland native, and written in Rust.

GNOME has one built in. Just hit the "print screen" button and it should appear.

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?

Taking screenshots? What's the use case for that? That's an invalid use case. Didn't you know wayland is only a protocol?
