Flameshot install (AppImage)
Raw
flameshot-install.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# WHY use this script?
# 1. Sometimes deb or flatpak packages can't play well with wayland system (under debian 12 for example), so appimage do.
# 2. AppImage can't configure desktop entry and app icon and you can't install appimagelauncher (TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher).
