Some might not see how much work is/was to maintain xorg server
can also be used in non-KDE X11 desktop environments.
which doesn't really explicitly say much, and in fact the only tool I could find that claimed to be able to support everything was ksnip, which seems to work fine with wlroots but beyond that https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip#known-issues outlines the situation well enough; KDE is at least only temporarily broken, but GNOME isn't going to improve because GNOME did that on purpose. Now, that readme says you can use xdg-desktop-portal, but I have a GNOME+Wayland machine on hand, and I couldn't get it to actually work. I think what's supposed to happen is that every time I do a screenshot it prompts for permission, which I wanted to verify so I could complain that that was totally unreasonable, but what actually happens is that it just fails, which is... not better. Oh, and while searching for solutions to that I found flameshot, but that just refuses to even run. So... maybe someday the portal solution will work; in the meantime, I feel comfortable describing the situation as Wayland not having a uniform working way of taking screenshots.
[0] In particular, so we can avoid the situation from X11 where a load of drawing primitives are baked in that nobody has any use for anymore.

What's the equivalent for snipping tool in Mint?
ksnip - screenshot tool with annotation features. https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip
- I want screenshots to be saved into directory and get copied to the clipboard at the same time. Also, how there is no option to directly save the screenshot (it opens up a window after taking the ss asking to save it). How do I do both of these things?

Looking for Screenshot tool
Hey, I've been using [ksnip](https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip) which works really well on both my Rocky Linux 8.7 laptop and my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS workstation. It's Qt based, so it depends on your love or hate for that, but it works VERY well.

Flameshot v11.0.0
Flameshot is quite good, but to me it's always played second fiddle to Spectacle[0]. Flameshot's purple bubble UI and strange UX workflow makes it a hard pick when native choices are just this good.
