Vim can be used in situations where no system clipboard is available. It has its own copy clipboard that is only used in Vim. If the maintainer of your package build Vim with the system clipboard support, then you don’t need to install anything. You can copy and paste from system clipboard any time, but have to know how to do it right. Or you setup Vim that it automatically uses the clipboard. You don’t need to install anything else, unless the maintainer did not build Vim with clipboard support.
Modern versions of Vim, such as Neovim, should have these enabled automatically. Even easier to use if you use a preconfigured environment/distribution of Neovim such as LazyVim.
Once again proving that the easiest way to work out how to do something in vim is to post something along the lines of “vim sucks because it can’t do x” online :)
