Maim como alternativa Linux a Greenshot
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Maim is a solid replacement for Greenshot for users who need a lightweight, native Linux screenshot tool. It covers the core tasks of capturing full screens, windows, or selected areas, saving to common image formats, and copying to the clipboard. It is ideal for developers, designers, or anyone who works on Linux and wants a quick, keyboard‑driven workflow. However, it lacks some of Greenshot’s advanced editing and annotation features, so users who rely heavily on those may need a more feature‑rich editor.
