I'm a gorilla.
I put Ubuntu in my recently bought ThinkPad so that I can use my long-sought Linux machine. I had a hard time getting Vim's clipboard registers available, so I'll leave them as a note. I hope it helps those who are having trouble with the same thing.
When building Vim on Ubuntu, you need to install libxmu-dev and then the --with-x option.
#Required library
sudo apt install libxmu-dev
#Build
./configure --with-x --enable-multibyte --enable-fail-if-missing && make && sudo make install
#After building properly`+clipboard`Confirm that it is
$ vim --version | grep clip
+clipboard +keymap +postscript +vartabs
+eval -mouse_jsbterm -sun_workshop +xterm_clipboard
