Most DE’s have a screenshot app in their menus by default.
I prefer that to mucking around with key mappings which I can never remember.
Yes I do use the gui for some things.

I’m on Cinnamon with FreeBSD 14.3. Wayland+Sway is not working at the moment and when it worked I needed to start it from tty with ‘sway --unsupported-gpu’
Maybe the 15.0 version will work with Nvidia?
EDIT: I just realized that i3 would work with Xorg 
so here’s my i3 desktop:
as you can see it’s just barebones with only defaults (keybindings are fixed to my taste). I just like it!

Tell us later how it went with Nixos. I tried it once but only on wm. A lot of updates and (this comes from Gentoo user)..

Hard and harsh. configuration.nix is very strict and hard to understand the syntax. I really think they should make the whole thing user-friendly. Just took up experimenting with WSL (yeah, I need to run a Windows installation) and it’s pretty cool.

I also found it a bit too different from what I’ve used with the “normal” Linux distributions. Did you abandon Nix or trying to get into it?

I just listened to a Linux Matters podcast episode they featured a new (in creation) distro called Naughty Linux. It uses Ubuntu as a base and tries to put somewhat of a GUI on the NIX parts. It tries to blend the best of both worlds. It sounds interesting. I haven’t tried it yet. It sounded like it was very early days.

Anyone remember Naughty Utils?
It was practical joke / hoax / pretend take-off of Norton Utils…
i.e. it was harmless… but still kinda fun… it didn’t actually do anything harmful…
One year when doing secret santa, I got this guy who was a bit of a PC nerd (like me I suppose) - and I got him a bunch of 3.5" DSHD disks and a 3.5" disk case - and I put Naughty Utils on the first disk - but - labelled it Norton Utilities with the Norton logo…

Still trying… now it destroyed my network after update… I‘m happy it‘s just a VM.
