Dev Gets Linux Screenshot App Shutter Working on Wayland
Upstream, Shutter is still under semi-active development (2 releases last year). However, its developers are yet to officially add support for using the app under Wayland session – now used by most major desktop Linux distributions, Ubuntu included.
Not willing to go out, long-time Linux user, IT developer, and self-described “lover” of Shutter, Maurizio V, decided to roll up his sleeves and get the app working under Wayland.
The result is Shutter on Wayland, a retooled version of the iconic screenshot designed specifically to run in Wayland sessions, as demoed in this video...

You Can Now Run Shutter on Wayland!
Oh man, I was dreading the day I would have to switch to a Wayland-only Linux distribution, only to see that Shutter does not work.
It is one of the best tools for taking and editing screenshots in Linux and I use it daily for taking all kinds of screenshots for my work here and elsewhere.
I know that the GNOME screenshot tool has come a long way, but as they say, “Old habits die hard”. So, naturally, I was quite excited when I found out that there was a way to run Shutter on Wayland in all its glory.
