      It works flawlessly. Yes, currently it takes a bit of tweaking to get it working on Wayland, but once you nail it, flawless and so freaking useful. Once I started using it I find every other screen shot app lacking.

        So if you have to get it working on Wayland, I don’t think it works flawless. What exactly did you do?

          I agree, but flawless does apply after the tweak/workaround is completed.

          • Anyway, if installed from flatpak:
          sudo tee /usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround > /dev/null <<'EOF'

          #!/bin/bash

          flameshot

          EOF

          sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround

          After this, just make the call from:

          /usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround

          instead of:

          flameshot gui
          • If installed RPM, then make the call from:
          script --command "flameshot gui" /dev/null

          instead of:

          flameshot gui

              Apparently (from what I was able to gather, but I’m certainly no dev) that nullifies the part of Gnome in Wayland that makes it fail and not capture.

              Whatever the case, it’s been working flawlessly for me since Fedora 38 on Gnome 44.

                  Thanks for taking the time to explain this in detail. I have been wanting to get into the actual understanding of Linux commands to a deeper level for years now, but with 2 jobs, 3 kids, 3 dogs and church, what little free time I’ve had I tend to spend either playing some video games or sleeping.

                  You are right, I should get up off my ass and continue learning, and I will start today, by not entering commands and scripts that I find in the internet blindly (which is what I’ve been doing) but actually finding out what each part does before doing so.
