Maim, alternative Linux à Greenshot
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
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.

Passer de Greenshot à Maim, étape par étape
- 1. Install Maim from your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt install maim).
- 2. Configure hotkeys in your desktop environment to trigger Maim (e.g., bind PrintScreen to "maim -s -o screenshot.png").
- 3. Use the same key combinations you used with Greenshot to capture screenshots.
