I do most of my #screenshots with the default tool from @gnome. Sometimes, however, when I like to highlight elements, I prefer to use #Shutter. 🔗 https://shutter-project.org
Today, I accidentally came across this older article from @itsfoss and learned, you can actually also use @GIMP for taking screenshots. (file > create > screenshot)
It''s pretty cool if editing is necessary since it opens the image in #Gimp.

As of late I am deeply conflicted about #GodotEngine 😿
+ I love the design philosophy; I think it's [one of / the] best libre general-purpose 3D-capable engine out there. I use it and promote it.
- I've learned shocking things about reduz (Juan Linietsky) that made me really sad and I don't trust him in regards to money and power within the project.
I don't want to go into specifics, because there's too much to cover in a toot.
Don't downplay "haters" without evaluating their points.
