I've used Flameshot for a while and can say it is definitely the best of many tools I've tried. The direct upload to imgur is particularly nice.

Why do people still use imgur after all the antipatterns they've pushed? When I tap the direct image links in this thread I get greeted with an extremely slow infinite scrolling page, social media features galore, and intrusive requests to install the app.

I like postimages.org.

Thank you for recommending postmates.org. Just what I was looking for!
Is it better than Greenshot?

I love nesting screenshots into screenshots by simply hitting the PRTSC button muliple times

And you should also install "hoverzoom" under brave broser with multiple blockers:

No. greenshot is fantastic. But windows only
Greenshot is fantastic, I would have loved it if it existed for Linux.
Yes, and the ability to annotate and block out parts of the image before saving. Simple tools that for some reason other screenshot tools have been mind-bogglingly oblivious to provide.

(It has a blur tool too, but I don't recommend blurring sensitive data as if the area under the blur kernel is 1, the sum of the pixel values will be the same before and after the blur, and if an attacker recognizes which font and size it is from other parts of the screen, they use could dictionary attack for the text with the sum of the pixels as the hash to be cracked.)

I'm so glad. I've been looking for a decent screenshot tool on linux for ... basically forever. This is so amazing.

Thank you!
