| gnome-snapshot "Installed the system package and found that it works both with my built-in webcam and with my external (USB) webcam. Except that it crashes if I start Snapshot first and plug in the camera after. (I must plug in the camera first and then start Snapshot.) Also, I find that the Main Menu ("hamburger menu") is glitchy, but I find that in a lot of programs: is it just on my computer, or is this often a problem with Cinnamon, or is it because this program is made for GNOME and not Cinnamon? (Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME.) Anyway, you rarely need the Main Menu, and the program works well and is easy to use. It does the simple things a camera program should do. I do miss a button to link to the folders where photos and videos get stored: ~/Pictures/Camera and ~/Videos/Camera (replace "Pictures" and "Videos" with the language of your Mint installation). The program shows up in the program menu as "Camera" (in the language of your installation)." |

| cheese "Installed the system package instead of Flatpak after reading user reviews. This program hasn't been updated since 2014. It also freezes if I try to use my laptop's built-in webcam, but a plugged-in (USB) webcam works. Cheese used to be the default camera app for GNOME desktop environment (Cinnamon is a fork of GNOME), but has since been replaced by Snapshot. Snapshot can be found in Software Manager by searching for "org.gnome.Snapshot". I found Snapshot to work with both my webcams, but this could of course be specific to my hardware. Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon" |
