From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is this true? Who controls the clipboard, then? The window manager? I always thought it was the X server
i installed that and xclip. i connect and copy and it wont paste
Apparently it is a problem if this is the same use case. https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2016/07/synchronizing-the-x11-and-wayland-clipboard/
He never mentioned kde connect. just how to sync.
Not in the thread i replied to. he said how to, you said why ask, i replied because it can be a problem. This is why linux forums get a bad name, instead of replying to the guy with a solution such as KDE, you instead goad them with why ask.
Fair enough
