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.

Personally I didn't have any problems with that yet fortunately.
My bigger problem right now is a bug that prevents me from copying stuff from the url bar when middle-click pasting is disabled in the KDE settings...
In X11 the bug doesn't exist
What. For me it's the opposite - I can't copy stuff to other apps from Firefox if that setting is not enabled
Yeah sorry. I was half asleep while I wrote this. That is the problem I have as well.
One workaround I found is to use the separate search bar (if you have it enabled) as a buffer.
When I copy the URL I can paste it into the search bar but nowhere else. If I copy the search bar I can paste it everywhere just fine
Ah. For me it's not the search bar only but also if I select text and press Ctrl+C/press context menu Copy as well.
Interestingly, if sites put something in the clipboard (eg. Mastodon toot Copy link button) it works anywhere else.
