Rethinking the GNOME clipboard issues
Summary
The article presents Strata, a two-process clipboard manager for GNOME designed to eliminate UI stutter by moving heavy work (hashing, decoding, database ops) off the compositor thread. It explains architectural decisions (strata-daemon in Rust with SQLite and D-Bus, a GNOME Shell extension, lazy-loading, and thumbnails) and notes security boundaries to prevent clipboard content from being executed. It also covers cross-desktop usage and installation details.
