> The only copy/paste behavioral difference I've noticed on Wayland is that I lose the copied data if I close the source program.
This is because sway by default does not provide a "clipboard manager" component. It has been the case for a long time that the clipboard is only actually populated when you paste, copying merely stores a reference. This is so you can copy/paste multi gigabyte files without running out of memory. A clipboard manager component solves this issue by intelligently saving your clipboard as applications come and go.
