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.

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.

you could use scrot or maim. This explains how to use scrot :) Simply open a terminal, type scrot and the filename..

What are some alternatives?
When comparing maim and dwm you can also consider the following projects:
scrot - SCReenshOT - command line screen capture utility
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
slop - slop (Select Operation) is an application that queries for a selection from the user and prints the region to stdout.
