    Can I use AwesomeWM, XMonad, or StumpWM on Wayland?

    Can I run a GUI program over ssh?

    Does it support the X selection and clipboard protocols?

    (These are not rhetorical questions, I’m really asking.)

      No you cannot run any of those WMs, some of those do have ports with varying degrees of completeness but only sway(i3) and hyprland(hypr) are ready for prime time.

      Yes, using waypipe

      Yes, primary selection does work along with Ctrl+c although as others have mentioned it forgets when the app you copied from gets closed

      Can you run macos software on linux?

      Can I run a GUI program over ssh?

      This is more of a why would you… Although, waypipe

      Does it support the X selection and clipboard protocols?

      Too lazy to google, but overall clipboard works as expected, both C-c and text selection. I remember experiencing problems with clipboards in vim (like 2 yrs ago) which were fixed by switching to nvim

        Wayland only keeps the clipboard until the application exits. This means a clipboard manager is basically a requirement. Iirc desktop environments might solve those issues by default, but on a standalone compositor just add a clipboard manager and enjoy the history.
