Shutter is unarguably the best screenshot capturing utility for Linux. Its powerful features plus the added plugins help you get most out of it. Unfortunately, it is not available for Solus.
The included screenshot capture utility in Solus is very basic, and may not be enough for most of the users.
Spectacle is a free screenshot capture utility that lets you capture images of the entire desktop, a single monitor, the currently active window, the window currently under the mouse, or a rectangular region of the screen. Though it is no way near the capabilities of Shutter, this is the closet you can get for Solus as of today.
