Onyx will let you change the directory where screenshots are saved on Mac (among a lot of other things) https://www.titanium-software.fr/en/onyx.html

My screenshots go into ~/screenshots and my desktop has icons disabled via the same aforementioned tool.

You can change the location to which screenshots are saved as a standard macos feature. Just cmd+shift+5, click Options, click Other Location...

One of the most powerful modifications I made in university was that every screenshot automatically got uploaded to a service and my clipboard was populated with a link. I used it constantly.

I also used the hotkey Combo to zoom my entire screen in. Any time I did any reading I'd really quickly and fluidly zoom to fill the column into the screen.

Dropbox app does this and it is a very useful for some use cases.
