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.

I fucking love Gnome over any other DE. I do hate how they try to fucking block using flameshot, otherwise, best distro in the linux world.
Isn’t flameshot deprecated?
In any case it is not surprising since GNOME is moving towards full Wayland on this update too, the project expects all devs to focus exclusively on Wayland now.
I’ve been very happy with Gradia for screenshots.
Oh my God, thank you so much. That looks awesome. I'll certainly take it for a spin.
As for flameshot, I'm not sure, but last I heard it was still being developed and maintained.
unfortunately flameshot uses some wlroots extensions that no DEs seem to use , I have a ton of window rules attempting to work around it on plasma
The KDE screenshot application is super nice though, what does flameshot have that it doesn't?
I really liked the built in light editing tools, they were a bit more advanced than the ones KDE provides. But I seem to be fine with KDE spectacle at the moment.
just personal preference, I like imgur upload because I use a social site or two that do not host any content in a cdn of their own. I've scripted my own upload in the past but it was unsatisfying
Yeah, going around with that hackaton to make it work is a real PITA. Unfortunately, that's the most enticing screen shot app in existence, in my opinion. I ended up just using the Gnome SC app and making it open satty to edit and then decide to copy or save. It does the job, requires very little tweaking, but it's certainly not flameshot.
