GIMP as a screenshot tool for Linux
Posted on 15 February 2020
As a Frontend Developer by trade, I take lots and lots of screenshots. Windows and MacOS both have several good options for taking screenshots. The one I like a lot on my Mac is Monosnap but they did not have a solution for Linux until recently. Now they have a browser addon that does just about everything that the MacOS app does. One thing that is missing is the ability to call it up with a hotkey and while taking screenshots outside of the browser is possible, its not as seamless as the MacOS app is. That said, as a Frontend Developer, 99 percent of my screenshots are taken inside the browser anyway.
