Finally I can take screenshots easily on Linux! (Yes, it's always been possible, but I now realized how to do it)
I downloaded the software maim and bound it to a key combination.
When I press super + s now I can draw a rectangle and a screenshot of that will automatically be copied to my clipboard.
That's perfect as I can then paste it in Zettlr easily.
No more trying to save graphs and tables from pdfs, welcome to my life screenshot utility!
I tried all comobations of alt, ctrl, shift, "windows key" + s, but it doesn't work. I don't know what the "super key" is.

Super is the windows key.
I have setup a custom key binding; it is not the default behaviour.
When I press those keys, the following command is run "maim -s | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png"
You can run it from the terminal as well, but having it bound to key presses makes it much more immediate.

Nevermind. I found maim -- a commandline screenshot utility.
