Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows

  Selectable, historical, you know actually useful.

  Windows 10 introduced a half ass attempt that finally worked with all programs and could be considered finctional.

    I have clipboard history enabled but holy is that an actual security nightmare.

    IMO not a good requirement to have.

      As always the security is with the user. No clipboard is just unusable.

      And we are talking windows here, security was never important apparently until windows 10 anyways.

      In fairness X11 was a threat right? That is one of the reasons Wayland broke so much.

      As for the clipboard, kde applications can have a setting to say “this is a secret” and you can set to won’t clip. But passwords are so out of favor I am not sure it matters.

        there’s no “no clipboard”, what are you talking about? there’s been a clipboard in any OS since XP that I have used

        what? have you heard about 7?

        I doubt that’s a setting, it’s just how it works. It’s not like it’s KDE specific behavior,even windows 10 is doing that.

    No but seriously, what are you talking about?

      Do you not know what a clipboard is? Did you not use linux for years and when you had to deal with the windows desktop it was easily in the top 10 of really annoying things a computer should be able to do?

      In windows 10 they finally got a resemblance of clipboard. The bare minimum.

      Meanwhile, Linux had a qr reader/writer, full object cut and paste, actions, white-space trimming, history length adjustment, persistence between sessions, blacklisting, clipboard editing, functions, search, sorting, should I keep going?

      You can find multiple complaints over the years about how bad windows was at this.
