Yep, I used Fedora Kinoite now! I originally used Fedora Silverblue, but that used GNOME + Wayland, and I dropped it cause spectacle couldn’t take screenshots in a Wayland based system. I switched to Kinoite because it uses Plasma instead. I don’t know if Wayland causes clipboard issues, as I never tested/got that far when trying to make Silverblue work. I just rebased cause I couldn’t get ShareX (the tool I used while on Windows) to work with WINE.
I use my clipboard tool with FF and have little to no issues there. The only thing I will note is, Textractor hooks the sentences a little weirdly. None of the hooks are perfect, the best one I can find that isn’t complete gibberish is a hook that simply copies the sentence twice. All the others repeat characters in a sentence like 50 times, so they’re unsalvageable. Not sure if it’s a browser hook thing, or a trying to force Windows apps in weird ways thing, but it’s not as smooth as a process compared to native Windows 😅
At least from my research, Kinoite is Wayland. I think you can go to KDE (Plasma) settings, find the “About this System” page and it should say “Graphics Platform: Wayland”. GNOME and KDE are desktop environments, X11 and Wayland are display managers (I think of them like rendering engines).Though it’s true that Spectacle has issues on Wayland, apparently all screenshot apps do, due to security restrictions and slow development. But Spectacle works great on KDE because Spectacle is made by KDE, and gets special privileges when run on KDE desktop. Same with GNOME screenshot when run on GNOME desktop. Third-party screenshot tools don’t get these privileges and don’t work well on either (at least when using Wayland), you can read more about it here: https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip/issues/727.
As far as Textractor goes, I haven’t had any issues with text hooking, but from my experience it heavily depends on the game, and I’ve only tested 2 games on linux so far. But if I’m reading you correctly…are you using Firefox inside WINE?
