Is it time for open processors?

I'm just amazed how we have two clipboards when I use Linux. Like we can't decide something so stupidly simple.

The two different clipboards are fantastic! Select then middle click is one of the things I miss most on Windows, and it's really convenient that that preserves the copy-paste clipboard.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1172/

I am so glad to hear they are fixing this in wayland and there will be only one clipboard by default going forward.

Well, that's been fixed with Wayland, right?

You just have one.

I'm running on Wayland at this moment (Gnome 3 on Fedora), and just tested on the terminal. It has two: I can copy something with Ctrl-Shift-C, then select something else, then paste with Ctrl-Shift-V, then paste with middle-click; the selection didn't override what I had copied, and middle-click pasted what was selected.

So you still have two, at least with Gnome 3 on Wayland.
