Set-Clipboard Linux
See original GitHub issueSummary of the new feature/enhancement
PowerShell’s [SG]et-Clipboard functional independence.
How to work with the clipboard in Linux using PowerShell? If the cmdlet Get-Clipboard requires installing xclip (gcb is a stub?), then what about Set-Clipboard? You can certainly use native utilities, but why then useless cmdlets?
My Environment
OS: KDE neon User Edition 5.20 x64 PowerShell v7.1.2 (manual install: download, unpack, symlink to /usr/bin) xclip v0.13-1

Now it is in Work Groups competence 😃 so I stopped all review work on issues.
Good point - I also see the problem in 7.1.2 and 7.2.0-preview.3, on Ubuntu 18.04, and this is clearly a bug.
The problem must be related to how PowerShell waits for
xclipto exit.Please update your original post with the details of your environment, as requested in the issue template (edit: I now see that you used the “Feature Request/Idea” rather than the “Bug” template - only the latter requests this information, but since this actually a bug, it should be added), and please change the issue title to reflect that
