![Best Tool For taking screenshots in Linux Ubuntu](//developer.run/pic/deepin-screenshot.png)

Windows and Mac users have [Lightshot](https://app.prntscr.com/) - simple tool that allows you to take, caption and edit screenshot in seconds. Unfortunately, on Linux we either stick with command line tools like `scrot`. Or use  [Shutter](http://shutter-project.org/), which if you ask me is terrible: app starts too slow, editing requires multiple clicks, there multiple windows...

Theres awesome screenshot tool called [Deepin Screenshot](https://github.com/linuxdeepin-packages/deepin-scrot). It have Lightshot-like intuitive interface, that allows select windows or area, and edit screenshots instantly.

Theres bug, when screenshot [included selection frame](https://developer.run/pic/deepin-screenshot-bug.png). This and other bugs are fixed in my fork, complete with other improvements like multi monitor support:
