On Linux I've been using Hotshots which seems fairly full-featured and robust. It ain't Snagit -- nothing is really -- but it gets the job done. It is Qt-based so it's dead easy to install from the Software Manager if you are using either KDE or LXQt (aka Razor-QT) desktop managers. Not sure how well it performs in a GTK+ desktop manager -- Gnome, Mate, Xfce, LXDE, etc -- but knowing Linux I'd say you're probably fine as long as you don't mind the install process adding a little Qt bloat to your GTK+ environment.
