Looking for screenshot utility for Windows (piefed.social)

Yes I know, Windows bad. But I have to use Windows for work and the snipping tool is just so slow, clunky, and unintuitive and I'm sick of using it. Any recommendations for screenshot utils that can be bound to hotkeys and work much better than the snipping tool would be much welcomed. I'm used to Spectacle on my own PC (CachyOS/KDE) which works wonderfully.

Thanks!

Snipping tool? The one where you hit Win+Shift+S, draw a rectangle, and then it snips to your clipboard? That's the "unintuitive" snipping tool you're referring to?

I use it often, but not professionally, and it's pretty handy.
