Just switch to Fedora or Ubuntu or Mint if you are expecting to want to get step by step guidance.
This has nothing to with being able to make screenshots. Do yourself a favor, save yourself some frustration and switch to a more beginner friendly distribution to make life on yourself easier since you are new to Linux and still have to learn how Linux works.
Thank you, sir. As a new Linux learner, I have installed many necessary packages that I know how to use and have learned Linux commands. I asked about this because I am unable to set a keyboard shortcut. However, I managed to take a screenshot using the command in Bash. I enjoy learning, and mastering Arch Linux is an achievement for me. I no longer wish to switch to another distro. Yesterday, I learned about the Deepin environment from a friend and decided to try it on Arch. I encountered an issue with the screenshot function, but it's resolved now.You're probably missing a screenshot application, from what I remember some things aren't installed by default when it comes to Arch even when installing a desktop environment so that you can keep your install minimal. Also if you are wanting your hand held and asking for step by step guidance, Arch is not the distribution for you because Arch is about Doing it yourself(DIY).

Then go for it if you enjoy learning and doing things yourself.
Great mindset. When I decided to install Slackware years ago, so many users told me to go with an easier distro. But I stuck with Slackware. I learned a ton.
Agreed great mindset, but I still think it's fair to warn someone for if they aren't wanting to learn themselves when it comes to distributions that aren't beginner friendly.Great mindset.

A great Slackware user who is no longer with us once told me that nobody is born a Linux expert. Whether you start with Slackware or Ubuntu does not matter. Read, ask, and try things out, thats how you do it right.
Yeah but when you are diving into Arch or Gentoo as a new Linux user, don't expect your hand to be held every little step of the way because it will be expected you do a lot of the learning yourself. For example figuring out what partitioning is, what filesystems are, etc.
Yes they are right.
But eventually i figured it out and got it working. I also think it depends on the user. If they just want a working distribution, then you are absolutely right. But there are users like me who enjoy trying something new every day. Been running Slackware 13 years, love it! A darn good teacher I say.Great mindset.

If youre still looking for a screenshot tool, I recommend "scrot." It's quick and can take screenshots after a set time too.
I first got into Linux back in 2001 with Slackware. A friend helped me install slackware back then. I still love using it today.

I don't know Arch. It has a package manager, so it shouldn't be too hard?
LOL! Not sure I want to spend the day configuring everything:-
