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.

My most ridiculous solution yet, completely solving citrix clipboard issues (lemmy.ml)

i've done it, I've finally figured out a workaround for this stupid bug that has existed on my system for the last 10 years. the citrix clipboard now works properly, this is the glueyest dumbest thing i've ever had to do and i've spent literally years trying to figure it out, turns out the wayland protocol forbids windows that don't have focus from accessing the clipboard, so, i had to make a window, it had to be focused for enough time for it to be recognized and it was a whole thing. Here you go for anybody that needs it, should be relatively easy to adapt from hyprland over to whatever. Fuck.

What?

edit: oh, you're talking about spawning alacritty. it's just a window that's easy to spawn with an arbitrary class ig. what would you use?

The real reason for alacritty is that it's my terminal emulator of choice and it needed to run "xclip -o | wl-copy" while in focus, or the clipboard won't update properly.
