picom
A lightweight compositor for X11 (previously a compton fork) (by jonaburg)
maim
maim (make image) takes screenshots of your desktop. It has options to take only a region, and relies on slop to query for regions. maim is supposed to be an improved scrot. (by naelstrof)

Picom blur background isn't working, help!
What distro? My pref is for Jonaburg's fork. Ibhagwan is out of date. Pijulius more so. Yshui doesn't have animation.

My Arch linux desktop configuration
This configuration uses Qtile extra package and one of my favourite picom fork for minimalistic look with rounded-corners

Does awesome dont support Translucent windows?
As others have said, Awesome doesn't ship with a compositor so you need one yourself. My choice is jonaburg's picom fork for the extra included features, but regular picom will do the job.

Best picom fork?
picom-jonaburg has rounded corners and animations. Window gaps are controlled by your window manager, compositors can't interact with them.

Can't remove rounded corners from evince
Offtopic: I know you didn't ask this, but I just saw the fork you are using was updated the last time in 2020: https://github.com/jonaburg/picom/tags . The current version of the original https://github.com/yshui/picom/releases got updated this year (2 years more development!). Unless you are using features that is only available in that fork, I would try the mainline, which also got some of these features too, in example support for rounding corners. So maybe this newer version works better.

How to exclude Qtile Bar from background-blur in picom
I am using Qtile (on a Laptop running Ubuntu 20.04), with jonaburg-picom, which is blurring my Qtile bar since some parts of it are configured to be transparent. How do I get rid of that blur, can someone help me with this?

We use greenshot, I don't particularly care for it either way. On my personal computer I use maim.

Automatically Saving Screenshots to a folder
For example on my wm config I use maim -- printscreen ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_s), spawn "maim -s ~/Pictures/$(date +%s).png"), ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_x), spawn "maim -s | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png"), qtile is written in python and I guarantee you that you will learn plenty tinkering on your machine.

[OC] Meowfetch - A minimal, fast, and customizable fetch script written in golang
It's not a window manager I took screenshots using maim and edited them using GNU Image Manipulation Program. but if you're curious I use dwm as my window manager and kitty as my terminal emulator.

I ran 'time tree' once on the gnome-terminal and then on tty3 on my Ubuntu 20.04.2 install in the '/' directory. These are the final outputs. Why is there a difference in the count of files and directories and most importantly why is there such a huge difference in the time taken for them to execute
you could use scrot or maim. This explains how to use scrot :) Simply open a terminal, type scrot and the filename..
