# Desktop clipboard uses the xdg-desktop-portal Clipboard API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The desktop daemon reaches the clipboard through `xdg-desktop-portal` rather
|
||
|
|
than native X11 calls. Wayland — the default session on modern Fedora/Ubuntu —
|
||
|
|
exposes no direct clipboard access, so an X11-only daemon is broken for most
|
||
|
|
Linux users. Consequence: on Wayland the daemon cannot passively poll; an active
|
||
|
|
portal session started by a user gesture is required, so "enable clipboard
|
||
|
|
sync" is an explicit action (trivial no-op grant on X11). Windows uses the
|
||
|
|
Win32 clipboard API.
