β¨ XFCE4-SCREENSHOOTER:(1) β¨
okay so bestie, this is the manual page for xfce4-screenshooter β and ngl the NAME section is a little cursed: the title says xfce4-screenshooter: and the tagline is literally manual page for xfce4-screenshooter: Cannot open display:. Likeβ¦ yes, that's the whole vibe. It's giving "tried to screenshot a screen that isn't there." π
