So if you have to get it working on Wayland, I don't think it works flawless. What exactly did you do?

I agree, but flawless does apply after the tweak/workaround is completed.

  • Anyway, if installed from flatpak:
sudo tee /usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround > /dev/null <<'EOF'

#!/bin/bash

flameshot

EOF

sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround

After this, just make the call from:

/usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround

instead of:

flameshot gui
  • If installed RPM, then make the call from:
script --command "flameshot gui" /dev/null

instead of:

flameshot gui

So why do that? Seems like you're just piping the output to null?

Apparently (from what I was able to gather, but I'm certainly no dev) that nullifies the part of Gnome in Wayland that makes it fail and not capture.

Whatever the case, it's been working flawlessly for me since Fedora 38 on Gnome 44.
