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.

If your terminal supports something called OSC 52, then it should work great! I use Kitty which does support it and Alacrity should also too.
Do you mean it should work regardless of this tool? Or it works because of this tool?
I use foot for the most part, and alacritty when I use X. I'll check if foot has it. Thanks!!
Synchronizing the clipboard over SSH uses the OSC 52 protocol, which both the terminal and the programs you run in the terminal have to support. Foot may or may not support it, and almost no regular software does, but CB got complete OSC 52 support recently.
Oh I will have to look into this.
