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.

And then there is the "clipboard" (copy paste function) in the nano text editor being a third
Vim also has it's own clipboard
You can also configure vim to use the first clipboard (works with nvim but never tested on vim).
works with vim but never tested on vi
It does not work in vi. The + and * register were a vim invention (tested in vim compatibility mode and busybox vi)
Vim has a ton of clipboards and I still couldn't figure them out.
Annoyingly so, how can one disable it?
Thx, I'll try that
