Man am I happy not to live in murica
Bitwarden if you want it in the cloud, Keepass if you want it on the device. I’d recommend PrivacyGuides.org’s recommendations this time. They are rather careful as to what they recommend, still doesn’t mean they always get it right.
Well to truthfully answer your question, ignoring your apparent frustration, Linux is not an operating system for the faint hearted. It is often highly technical and community driven. As a result, it can also be quite hard or just frustrating to use (for some users).
Saving a file in GIMP is basically saving the workspace. Elements that you create inside of GIMP get saved as individually. Exporting the file will let you get an actual image file (like a png or jpg or bitmap what have you), as is it that way with most pieces of software on most operating systems. Export almost always means “Gimme the end result”. Like in 3d modeling software, where at export you can choose if it’s an stl or whatnot and when saving, you save the actual workspace.
As for your screen recording tool, I don’t know as I don’t use it. But it is likely that it has a config as almost everything does in Linux and that the imaging format can be changed there permanently. If it does not have such a config I’d ditch it for something else tbh.
