I spent too much time today trying to figure out how to make the clipboard work in the Neovim and Neovide Flatpaks in Fedora Kinoite.

It only works after I run :checkhealth

Nothing I put in my init.vim made any difference.

None of the tutorials really got into possible fixes in this situation (Atomic Fedora and Flatpak)

Most of my .vimrc didn't transfer over. All of my macros and abbreviations are broken.

I’m running Neovim from a toolbox container on my install. I don’t think I had to do anything special to get the clipboard to work.

I did have some trouble with my dotfiles, though. I had to jump through some sort of hoop to get a Lua interpreter working.

I was running it from a flatpak, too, for a minute. Same problem: no Lua interpreter.

I’ll have to look to see how I fixed that…
