I tinkered with it for a couple of days before deciding to look up system/media installers for Linux distributions (that are able to be run on Windows) and coming up empty-handed, cluelessly thinking that somehow only Windows manages to offer one.

ShareX is by and large the most useful tool for taking screenshots and packed with some miscellaneous multi-purpose tools inside, both [Spectacle](https://apps.kde.org/spectacle/) and [Flameshot](https://flathub.org/apps/org.flameshot.Flameshot) felt a bit lackluster in comparison.
Despite that, I've been using Spectacle and it's pretty good if I look past that.
