I think flameshot launches, it is just waiting for input no? If you run $ flameshot gui what happens?

I was able to capture my shell on PureOS via flameshot so it seems to be working?

Ah, so it's a CLI utility? That's why it wouldn't launch from Gnome's search!

Yes `flameshot gui works. The problem was my expectation of something similar to Shutter :)

Sorry for the noise.
