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. 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..
