You: Does it support linux? gemma3:12b: No, ShareX is not natively supported on Linux. It is designed specifically for Windows operating systems. While there's no official Linux version, there are a couple of workarounds, but they are not ideal and involve using ShareX remotely: Remote Access: You can run ShareX on a Windows machine and access it remotely from your Linux system using remote desktop software like Remmina, Microsoft Remote Desktop, or similar tools. This allows you to use ShareX as if it were installed locally on your Linux machine, but performance depends on your network connection. Wine (with limited functionality): Some users have attempted to run ShareX using Wine, a compatibility layer that allows running Windows applications on Linux. However, this is generally not recommended as it's often unstable, features may be limited, and it can be a complicated setup. The experience is often not great. Alternatives on Linux: Because ShareX isn't well-supported on Linux, there are several excellent native Linux screenshot and screen recording tools available: Shutter: A popular open-source screenshot tool with a variety of features. Ksnip: A simple and easy-to-use screenshot and screen recording tool with cloud uploading. Spectacle (KDE): The default screenshot tool for the KDE Plasma desktop environment. flameshot: Another feature-rich screenshot tool with annotation capabilities. SimpleScreenRecorder: Dedicated to screen recording with good performance. So, while it's technically possible to use ShareX on Linux through workarounds, it’s generally better to utilize the numerous native and well-supported Linux alternatives.
