Copy-paste from closed source clipboard manager
To work around it, it seems that one have to use a clipboard manager. Under X11 I used CopyQ, which did solve it for me then. Now under Wayland I did not get CopyQ to work out of the box. I have instead tried using cliphist https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist

Copy url via mouse not working in sway compiled on Ubuntu 20.04
When I copy text via mouse, everything works fine, but when I copy url via mouse nothing happens at all. I use wl-clipboard and clipman for history(tried also cliphist but result the same). I found only one workaround - copy url via tridactyl yy. Any ideas how this could be solved?

ALPINE linux as guest, copy & paste not working
I can't say why Alpine Linux doesn't have that package. My guess its due to being a security focused distro it omits it because it could be seen as a security issue. If you absolutely want to use Alpine Linux you could try building it from source (https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/) or us the VMware Tools ISO: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1018414

Open-vm-tools v12.1.0
I am wondering if someone have news about the updates of the open-vm-tools package for Rocky Linux (v8.6 or 9) I am trying to update them to fix the CVE 2022-31676. They are available on github but need to be compiled manually (nightmare to maintain later in a professional env) and fedore released an rpm package as well.
