    Hey just a question, I’ve been dabbling in Linux for a bit now, but honestly a huge deal breaker for me is not having applications with at least near feature parity with ShareX and Everything. There seems to be plenty of screen shot apps but they seem to be clunky in comparison, while I have yet to see a reliable gif capturing tool. Meanwhile, Everything can search my computer in a few milliseconds without issue but I haven’t gotten close to that on Linux.

    Was wondering if you might know of similar programs on Linux since you seem more familiar with it than me

      Hey, I’m a former Windows user myself. I also used and enjoyed ShareX on Windows, I haven’t found a perfect replacement but KDE Spectacle and Flameshot are pretty good. Flameshot is my personal favourite. Have you tried Peek for capturing GIFs? There’s also Kooha.

      I almost never need to search my entire computer, but when I do, I use the command-line tool fd. It’s very fast and pretty easy to use. You just type fd followed by the expression you want to look for. ANGRYsearch seems to be a GUI replacement for Everything, haven’t tried that one out though.
