@gemlog @claudiom Yes! Wayland! That's exactly what I meant. I had no idea it was quite disconnected from the original Xorg! Also what I love about Fedora linux you can add as much desktop environment/windows manager to log in to when you login using GDM. I had no idea login managers can do that now! LOL

Hmm… that's odd, I remember it wasn't able to capture anything when I was migrating from dwm (X11) to sway (Wayland), and when I was writing my reply I checked its GitHub page to make sure I'm not making this up, https://github.com/dreamer/scrot :
"This utility works in X11-based environments only - it does not work inside Wayland or XWayland sessions"
Well, maybe there is a patched version that is compatible 🤷

There is a Wayland-native shreenshooting utility called grim: https://sr.ht/~emersion/grim/
The command line syntax is a bit different, but it's just as simple to use in general, highly recommended 👍
I think you can find a package in your distro's repo.
