What Hacker News says

I think this is only a problem when building from source, right? It is indeed because of the dependency on https://github.com/golang-design/clipboard. I hesitated a bit bringing in this feature. On one hand, I really like to have clipboard support, on the other hand, I don't like that it requires you to change from static to dynamic linking (and have the x11 dependency). Maybe I could write an install.sh script for installation that detects the OS and fetches the correct version/tarball from the Github release.
