Apologies, I have already made the changes for this locally, and forgot to push them up to mainline. I think the only thing that needs to be kept from this PR is the documentation changes. |

Summary
SteamOS does not include
wl-clipboardby default. Pyperclip relies on external utilities such aswl-copyandwl-pasteunder Wayland, which causes clipboard operations to fail on a default SteamOS installation. Since the application already uses PySide6, Qt can provide native clipboard integration across Wayland, X11, and Windows without requiring a separate clipboard package or command-line utility.Changes
Impacts
wl-clipboard.xcliporxsel.This is purely a backend change to how copying to clipboard is done, none of the formatting & other operations are affected.
