@26:07 he says as a business he's considering Linux on his computers because of Windows privacy violations. It's great to hear someone with such a wide audience talking about using Linux.

Well, to each their own. Also, I can't say whether this applies to you, but it seems likely that one might evolve a key shortcut preference from one's early exposure. Mine was Windows and, eventually, Linux.

I like shortcuts involving the Print Screen button because the label is clear to me and because I can take a screenshot with a maximum of two buttons rather than three, none of which clearly express "screenshot" to me.

Regardless of the reasoning, I doubt we'll come to an accord, but I respect your preference.

I also stayed with windows, then went to Mac before Linux.

However the simple reason I chose these shortcuts is because I have a 60% tenkeyless keyboard, so there is no Print screen button! 😁

That makes sense. I've had various percentage keyboards, but never not had a print screen button.
