If you have previously used the flatpak version of GPU Screen Recorder with the new UI then the non-flatpak version of the systemd service will conflict with that. Run `gsr-ui` to fix that.

## "Save to clipboard" option doesn't work for screenshots
Some Wayland compositors don't support copying images on the clipboard between X11 and Wayland applications. GPU Screen Recorder UI is an X11 application. It can't be done properly on Wayland
since Wayland doesn't support a non-focused application from setting the clipboard, so it can't work with GPU Screen Recorder hotkey usage. Use X11 if you want a functioning desktop.

Save clipboard image with wayland on wayland. Some wayland compositors (such as hyprland, budgie and maybe more (wlroots based ones?)) don't support copying clipboard image data from x11 applications to wayland applications.
This can be done because retarded wayland only supports setting clipboard when the application has focus. This doesn't work with hotkey screenshot use.
This is specifically an issue when using wl_data_device_manager, which is a standard protocol. It can be done when using wlr specific protocol.
