Peek GIF Screen Recorder for Linux is a lightweight and intuitive application designed to help you capture a specific area of your desktop and save the recorded content as an animated GIF file. The application is simple to use, featuring a minimalistic interface with only a few options. You can select the area you want to record and start the recording process with just one click. You can also fine-tune the recording parameters, such as frame rate, size, and video duration. Once the recording is complete, you can save it in an animated GIF file, which can be shared easily on social media platforms. Additionally, Peek GIF Screen Recorder for Linux allows you to preview your recording and make adjustments before saving the file.

After installing this version of SF, it immediately says that there is an update available. When you click on the link, it takes you to camstudio.org, which has a zip file that, scanned with VirusTotal, gives you a score of 15/53. So do NOT download and install the "update": it is malware.
