> copy-paste

When I was talking about switching to wayland with a colleague, who was already moved over at the time, he tried to convince me that having no copy paste is better for security.

And I, using a password manager that generates unspeakably complex passwords everywhere, was kinda stunned by that blindsightedness.

If you don't want copy and paste, use Qubes OS. That's the philosophy matching the rest of the architecture of the OS.

But as long as you have a binary named "[" on your system, don't try to convince people that you are doing it in the name of security. There is much more rotten fish to throw away before that.

The only thing that recently convinced me to give wayland another go is hyprland. Seeing all kinds of nice WM concepts being implemented in it, maybe hyprland is "the interoperability specification" we needed all along.
