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.

Tried Distrobox, heard about it before but was to scared to use it previously. Seems neat, still having issues with running an application after installing it via wine...

What feature does ShareX provide that Spectacle doesnt? You can share to imgur, telegram, etc with it.

When I looked up Linux alternatives, I never saw anyone mention this app. Also, it uses KDE, and Silverblue is Gnome. I just tried installing KWin since spectacle says it needs it, and it seems to not want to work...

Edit: Rebased to Fedora Kinoite because it uses Plasma KDE, which works with Spectacle. Shortcuts provided are nice and can do what I need, but ShareX definitely had more ways to create new shortcuts, and each shortcut could auto save to different folders, unlike the global save for ShareX. ShareX also can record JUST audio, which eliminates the need for a second app to do so. I just feel like the shortcuts and tasks in ShareX could be hyperspecific.

But this will work! Thank you for informing me about it! Idk why people recommend flameshot instead of this, seems better.

Np! Glad you enjoy it! Its made by KDE themselves. You might like Bazzite w/ KDE or Aurora. Generally, I feel ublue adds a lot to atomic distros in terms of automation and nice to have features
