If I’m trying to look up how to do terminal stuff to install something not on flatpak, 99% of the time the instructions are for regular Fedora, not Silverblue.
This is solved by the various ublue images and distrobox generally. Distrobox basically lets you run those install instructions as natively as possible. Its a bit like WINE but for all linux distros. For example, I can install a .deb file to my system with distrobox, or I could pull from Arch’s AUR. Distrobox lets you be pretty lazy, it works most of the time, though some applications don’t seem to like it. And by the way, you can download a .rpm file and layer it using rpm-ostree install [.rpm filelocation] if all else fails.
Generally, I feel like Fedora Atomic is the best middleground for linux these days. It really incentivizes the users to use containers, which are far more secure than the permissions anarchy of normal linux. Its easy enough to daily drive too.
What feature does ShareX provide that Spectacle doesnt? You can share to imgur, telegram, etc with it.
Tried Distrobox, heard about it before but was to scared to use it previously. Seems neat, still having issues with running an application after installing it via wine…

When I looked up Linux alternatives, I never saw anyone mention this app. Also, it uses KDE, and Silverblue is Gnome. I just tried installing KWin since spectacle says it needs it, and it seems to not want to work…
Edit: Rebased to Fedora Kinoite because it uses Plasma KDE, which works with Spectacle. Shortcuts provided are nice and can do what I need, but ShareX definitely had more ways to create new shortcuts, and each shortcut could auto save to different folders, unlike the global save for ShareX. ShareX also can record JUST audio, which eliminates the need for a second app to do so. I just feel like the shortcuts and tasks in ShareX could be hyperspecific.
But this will work! Thank you for informing me about it! Idk why people recommend flameshot instead of this, seems better.
Np! Glad you enjoy it! Its made by KDE themselves. You might like Bazzite w/ KDE or Aurora. Generally, I feel ublue adds a lot to atomic distros in terms of automation and nice to have features
