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.

I use parcellite. Sensible UI, has all the functionality I need and it's not tied to any desktop environment.
The functionality I care about:
- history, including customizable persistent entries
- customizable key bindings
- handles both primary and selection and can sync them
- can trim whitespace
- can launch customizable actions on the active entry
Selection buffer.
Unless you mean clipboard manager, in which case it'll depend on your desktop environment.
Yeah, I meant clipboard manager, I changed the title, thanks.
In that case gpaste (if you use Gnome). Before that parcellite was my preference, but around the transition to Wayland things broke for me.

If you're using gnome there's a really nice extension.
I like greenclip. Pretty minimal, makes a solid clipboard manager combined with dmenu (or rofi)
