Hey everyone! I'm currently using Fedora with the KDE desktop environment, and I've tried Spectacle for taking screenshots. However, it's become a real headache since it freezes my laptop for long periods when I try to use it, sometimes requiring a force reboot. While I appreciate Spectacle's features, I'm on the lookout for an alternative that won't bog down my system and allows for quick regional screenshots using a keyboard shortcut. Any recommendations?

You should definitely check out Flameshot! It's a great alternative that works well and is more lightweight than Spectacle. You can find it at flameshot.org. Just a heads-up though; if you’re on Wayland, there might be some bugs, but it's definitely worth trying out! Let me know how it goes!
If you're concerned about Wayland issues, you might also try Gradia. It’s newer but should be closer in functionality. Plus, if you don’t mind a command line, grimblast is an excellent option as well!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give Flameshot a shot.
