Comments about Flameshot as an Alternative to LightShot
The most lightshot-like app on Linux
Flameshot is open-source and doesn't send info to Yandex.ru as Lightshot do.
Adds some fancy features, but the basic, like customize screen capture shortcut, it's not possible on MacOS and probably will never be. (https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/1259)
Really lightweight, open-source, easy to use, ... what more ?
It is perfectly lightweight!
