wl-clipboard VS sway

> things it doesn't support like xclip

$ cat ~/bin/clip

    #!/bin/sh

With the default config I noticed I couldn't paste contents from the selection buffer in some applications, so I added the following wl-clipboard calls in my hyprland.conf:

This is just kinda how wayland works. The way wl-clipboard handles it is it forks off and stays in the background. That process is what serves the clipboard requests.

On wayland wl-paste pastes the from the clipboard. On X11 replace wl-paste with either xsel --clipboard --output or xclip -selection clipboard -o

No, but there's a wl-clipboard for that

Linux isn't very pleasant.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking.

I just had a quick Google and xclip or wl-clipboard may be what you’re looking for. I’ve never used them but they sound promising.

For point 2 I found that wl-paste seems to share the windows clipboard. Taking a screenshot and then in WSL

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.

I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
