From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a way to set a five second timer for grim via the terminal? I want to take a screenshot, but the thing i want to screenshot disappears once i try another keycombo or select a new window.

You can probably just do sleep 5 && grim as the program to run.

It depends on your desktop environment or window manager, how you'd bind a command to a keybind.

That worked perfectly! Thanks!
