Screenshotting app to replace ShareX

LINUX: CINNAMON MINT 22.3

Hello

I managed to slowly restore everything from my Windows, but I still can't find anything to replace ShareX for me. There is possibly a way to do this in apps I tried but I would appreciate help!
I didn't use much of ShareX. I mostly need following functions:

  • Different hotkeys for region, window and full screen.
  • Saves to folders, or at least names after app so I can sort it later.
  • Last screenshot to clipboard.
  • It stays out of way. maybe just makes a noise to tell me screenshot has been taken. It doesn't open annoying fuckass editor that gets me out of app I am screenshotting.

I tried Flameshot and Shutter, and it is possible I missed these features, so feel free to yell at me - I've been terribly distracted as of late. Thank you, I appreciate the help!

Someone used my defunct shop as a Fraud and Etsy is ignoring me

Hello!

Two or so years ago, I made a shop, which I then closed and forgot it existed. However, recently I had a nasty case of someone getting my log-in tokens for variety of services - Etsy, Reddit etc. Etsy is the one that was the most annoying - someone flooded it with fake listings and it managed to get two sales.
The second I got the email i changed my password, logged in, used 2FA the whole thing. I was able to refund and cancel one person, but they used like 90 euro for ads, and 80 euro for fees. This means I cannot refund the other person, because money's tight.
I contacted etsy a week ago and got nowhere, my email is just spammed with their dogshit bots. I even got framed as a fraudulent shop, which, hallelujah! Maybe this can mean something will happen! I wrote an appeal with all of the information - and like three days after, while trying to log in to check how my first support ticket is going it just let me in. SO it was finally resolved? NO! It wasn't! Same issue! Nothing moved in the support! I can't even go on forums to complain and get a response there!

Mind you, this shop shouldn't even exist. It's in my old name and with my old ID attached, which is why the payment isn't going through as they can't verify me from the old photo.

I have no idea who else to contact about this. I already wrote a message to the buyer that it was a fraud. But I am just very furious about how slow etsy is here.

To Partition or Not to Partition?

Context: Lifelong Windows user. After a nasty malware attack I needed to reinstall. Decided to try Linux instead (I know it's not safe from viruses automatically, but I had to backup and install something anyway so I wanted to switch)

I have about 1TB of space. I am running Cinnamon Mint 22. I am too stupid to do Arch and I have no desire for it. I also don't have brain for remembering terminology. Sorry for saying wrong stuff.

Very quickly after painless uninstalling I learned that a somehow common practice is to cordon off your /home into its own partition, for the sake of reinstalling and stuff. As someone who wants to play games, so could use a different distro in future and and as someone who always needs a backup plan, this sounds awesome. Plus, I didn't even start to move over my files yet. There is around 200Gb of personal files for which I simply don't have a good backup solution yet.

The issues are twofold:

  • My friends who do Linux recreationally and professionally say this is a bad idea for distrohopping, as config files would various apps would also be retained in /home.
  • I have no idea HOW to divide the space. My gut says 100Gb to root and 900Gb to me, but my anxiety is also there and making me not commit. People also include. Switch place? For Memory purposes? But some sources say this is old practice?

I have a fully installed setup that is clean while I am paralyzed by this decision. And not using my PC.

I can look up tutorials and how to do a decent amount of stuff. What I don't want is to create a ticking time bomb of a problem due to my own stupidity. Reinstallation is not painless and I chose a stable, well trusted distro specifically because I don't want to add more stress to my life. And I know that more personal input is needed on Linux, OK, just. Trying to save energy I don't always have.
