@Twakyr YES, I completely forgot about that, thank you @nyan! Definitely install equery, this is an invaluable tool.

@Twakyr I’ve been a hardcore gentoo user/fan for 20+ years, I thought I’d never be able to use anything else till I started playing with Nix this year. The granular configurability of each individual package has yet been unmatched for me in any other distro till Nix. For #gentoo though, I’d highly recommend taking great care in tailoring your /etc/portage/make.conf, setup /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf with sync-type = git, and use /etc/portage/package.{use,mask,unmask,accept_keywords} as directories for individual packages. I tend to keep a /etc/portage/package.mask/failed file for upgrade blockages fer me to unfuck after a emerge -avuDUN @world succeeds.

@communist @null_dot Hyprland has the screenshotting functionality builtin.

This is so much less helpful than just posting “I don’t know” or “beats me”.

First, if you’re gonna post code, put it in a code block. And nevermind you not knowing if the ““code is good””, it doesn’t even adhere to the question that was asked; the two programs you suggested are not even wayland compatible tools.

Haven’t ever done this in wayland, but in X, I always used to xdotool to grab the title of the active window. I’d guess you could do the same using one of the wayland alternatives like ydotool, wlrctl, dotool, or whatever else is out there. And something like grim to grab an image of the window.

@hexa @dontblink Thank you! Didn’t notice I grabbed the wrong bookmark.

@dontblink @Max_P I retract my “ideal” statement; this is the way to do it.

@dontblink I’d think #NixOS would be ideal for this task. As for hardware, any of the SBCs listed on their ARM page should do.

@brownmustardminion I think you’d be fine still usin swappy, just use it in a way that does what you need. I use maim piped to xclip as below, then I tie each of those cases to [PrScr] with different modkeys.

    area)     maim --hidecursor -s |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
    ;;
    savew)    maim --hidecursor -i $(xdotool getactivewindow) |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
    ;;
    savef)    maim --hidecursor |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
