Has Wayland figured out how to allow users to take screenshots? I would like to switch to Linux/Wayland from my mac but I need to share screenshots with co-workers.
- Vogtinator 6y agoI've been using the Plasma Wayland session for quite some time now and screenshots have been working fine basically from the start and some time ago screensharing with pipewire got implemented. Chromium and krfb support that, so both WebRTC and VNC work as expected.
- vetinari 6y agoYou can take screenshots under Wayland, you just can not use random X11 tool that you were used to. All Wayland compositors come with some tool, that can take screenshots.
- RMPR 6y agoThe real issue is the clipboard which gets cleaned after closing the Window from where you copied.
- vetinari 6y agoI would guess that the format negotiation for clipboard data has something to do with that. You cannot negotiate when the originating app is not there anymore. But then, is it a real problem? I understand, that some users might be inconvenienced by that, because they got used to it in their workflow... but is it really a showstopper?
