Am on the hunt for an offline screenshot tool with annotation capabilities because my usual options are failing me. Am on Tumbleweed with Gnome. Here’s what I’ve tried so far, and the issues I’ve run into:

  • Flameshot: Used to be my go-to, but sadly, it’s not working anymore.
  • Spectacle: Doesn’t launch at all.
  • Ksnip: Gives me a black screen while taking a screenshot.
  • Pensela (AppImage): Crashes on launch.
  • Shots: Refuses to launch.
  • Bonus: Annotely is web-based and works ✅

At this point, I’m out of breath trying to find something functional. I need something that allows for quick annotations (arrows, text, highlights, etc.) and is lightweight and reliable (Arrows with GIMP… 😮‍💨).

Anyone got recommendations or solutions?

Edit: using Wayland

    That may be something worth trying. Install X11 and dodge Wayland for the time being. It is definitely more limiting than X11 in my case. At least until the devs of various apps catch up.
