I decided on this app because I needed a simple and straightforward tool to allow clients -and myself in old computers- to capture screenshots every-time there's a problem. This tool is fantastic, so light, so fast, and free software.

How the hell is it installed? I'm kinda new to Linux

Linux distributions usually use a 'package manager' to install applications. Think of it like the windows store, but everything is truly free.

Depending on your particular choice of Linux, the package manager will have a different name, so it's best to run a quick search to find out what yours is called, for example search for 'ubuntu package manager' if you are using Ubuntu Linux.

What is Lightscreen?

Lightscreen is a simple tool to automate the tedious process of saving and cataloging screenshots, it operates as a hidden background process that is invoked with one (or multiple) hotkeys and then saves a screenshot file to disk according to the user's preferences. Now, in the new version, you can upload all your screenshots automatically onto Imgur. A capture's thumbnail is a rather good feature of this utility.
