    Can I use AwesomeWM, XMonad, or StumpWM on Wayland?

    Can you run macos software on linux?

    Can I run a GUI program over ssh?

    This is more of a why would you… Although, waypipe

    Does it support the X selection and clipboard protocols?

    Too lazy to google, but overall clipboard works as expected, both C-c and text selection. I remember experiencing problems with clipboards in vim (like 2 yrs ago) which were fixed by switching to nvim

      Wayland only keeps the clipboard until the application exits. This means a clipboard manager is basically a requirement. Iirc desktop environments might solve those issues by default, but on a standalone compositor just add a clipboard manager and enjoy the history.

        Correct, yet I personally don’t find it too useful and sometimes harmful when dealing with, for example, password managers

          I’ve added a keybind for deleting history, but it’d be great to have a way to specify short lived clipboard entries. But this might also be one of those standards that no one implements.
