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

      Can I run a GUI program over ssh?

      Does it support the X selection and clipboard protocols?

      (These are not rhetorical questions, I’m really asking.)

        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.
