I don’t understand this comment, you can select and then middle click to paste or you can ctrl-c ctrl-v… what does not work for you? This does not sound familiar to me (a decades long Linux user).
Two possible issues the poster may be encountering:
1) Copy-paste shortcuts are different in terminals, on Linux, than they are everywhere else. They are the same, on macOS.
2) Much like drag-n-drop, reasonable support for copy-paste of things that aren't plain text is less common on Linux than on macOS, and attempting it is more likely to either not work or have unexpected effects.
