GNOME Screenshot
Utility used in the GNOME desktop environment for taking screenshots / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GNOME Screenshot is a desktop environment-agnostic utility for taking screenshots. It was part of the GNOME Utilities (gnome-utils) package, but was split into its own package[2] for the 3.3.1 version in 2011.[3] It was the default screenshot software in GNOME until it was replaced by a built-in utility in GNOME Shell version 42.[4]
