Shutter – Screenshot tool

Although Flameshot is the new default screenshot tool, Shutter is still available and is the preferred screenshot tool. Unfortunately it does not support Wayland, so if you are planning on staying with X11 as the display server, replace Flameshot with Shutter, it is the superior screenshot tool in Linux!

Please note, the ISO is designed for testing on real hardware, using VirtualBox you may have issues! It is recommended to use Virtual Machine Manager for VM testing of DeLinuxCo. Tutorial can be found here. If you are already running DeLinuxCo 22.1.2 or higher, you can run install-virt-manager to completely install and configure Virt-Manager.

HELPER SCRIPTS

DeLinuxCo comes with a couple of simple scripts to make installing certain applications easier.
the first is to enable syncthing as a service for the user so that even even if the user is not logged in, the sync session for the default user will still function, do not use the sudo with this command, if it needs permissions, it will ask for them.

syncthing is enabled by default as of this release.

To disable syncthing, run:

disable-syncthing

If you wish to run virtual machines, to auto install Virt-Manager, run:

install-virt-manager

The topic of Linux market share on the desktop is and has been widely contested, but the Windows 10 EOL and Windows 11 issues, spurred many Windows users to migrate to Linux or Mac. But these numbers are difficult to come by. Big Tech has an incentive to suppress any real data on Linux adoption. So how do we know what the real adoption is? Well, I don’t have the answer to that, but I do have some info that I stumbled across and that sparked an idea on how we can find out.

I host a website for a client, a site that I realized is a great microcosm of average desktop/phone users. I will not mention the site name directly, but we will use LRM.net, an acronym for the site. What makes this site unique in regards to the question at hand is that it is a Catholic based site, where Catholics around the world can look up the nearest church to them. The Catholic Church is not bound by ethnicity or borders , so the users are as diverse as you can possibly imaging.

This scenario is perfect for looking at “what are regular users using”, for instance this site (delinuxco.com) is not a good gauge, because you would expect it to be mostly Linux users. So the graph below shows that from November 2025 on, visitors running Linux rose by 500%+ ? The site averages approximately 1400 unique visitors every month with about 2200 page views.

I would like to encourage anyone who hosts websites to check your analytics, do you also see this as well? What are your thoughts?
