From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For copying from Tmux, I recommend tmux-yank. There are also multiple plugins allowing you to copy predefined set of text types (IP adresses, URLs, etc...). I'm currently using tmux-thumbs. Note that you have to set custom command in tmux-thums to actually copy the text to xclip or whatever you are using. example in my dotfiles
I have tmux-thumbs, but only been able to use it a few times. Apparently most of what I need to copy is not ip's and URLs. But this tmux-yank looks like what I'm looking for. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
