If the xorg team refuses to implement the clipboard properly, and another group wants to fix it, fork it. You can do that. Or they can start from scratch like google did with Android because they saw that in order to fix stuff like implementing the clipbard properly, they had to replace xorg completely. If Ubuntu wants to follow that so that the clipboard works properly, I'm all for it.

As for Ubuntu calling it a linux distribution, they should rethink that strategy. Stop focusing on the fluff and start focusing on the essentials.

So you've confirmed that you use linux because it's open source. Thank you for your bias.
