Research direction

Start by reproducing the clipboard failure with the generated bootstrap configuration in Neovim on Fedora Linux 36, then inspect its clipboard-related settings and compare them with Vim. Verify the wl-copy invocation and treat successful yy yanking without the bottom-line error as done.

Description

I can't yank a line in Nvim (yy command). I also see this error in the bottom line:

clipboard: error invoking wl-copy:

The wl-copy command is installed in my system.

The same bootstrap config works fine in Vim.
