this stopped me from go installing it too on nixos. I'm not gonna put the effort in to run it.
There should be a build tag to disable clipboard, that'd be the easiest way around this.

That has nothing to do with the UI framework. The X11 dependency comes as part of the clipboard integration (which I'd argue should be optional or even removed). Still, I wouldn't call it modern if Wayland is outright not supported.

Yikes, so it's a "TUI" app... that still requires a display server? So I can't run this TUI over SSH or a virtual terminal. Wondering what the point of a tui is that still requires a gui environment to run?
