iOS will tell me which application had accessed the clipboard, how to do it in Linux ?
Interesting question, to answer it it is good to know how things work on Linux:

Are you still on X11? On wayland it is different:

I had a look at Clipboard Managers but based on the description I see no clipboard manager that gives info on what accessed the clipboard but it looks to me it is possible, it is just that nobody did yet make a app for it. Funny enough it seems also dependent on the desktop environment (DE) so that would be also good to know.
What is so funny about that? The minimal requirements are known, but each desktop does implement them in their own way and adds features they think useful. That is why desktops differ and allow the users to choose between them.

I disagree. The DE’s clipboard stuff is just a frontend to some functionality that is already there. In X and wayland.
IMHO you say the same as I do. “minimal requirements” vs. “functionality already there”. And he front end can still present that in different way and maybe some extensions.
In any case, what is the “fun”?
With my disagreement I meant that the DE’s don’t implement the functionality. Like they don’t implement virtual desktops.
Does “Gek genoeg” say anything about mental health? Please stop nit-picking.
Yes, I think someone can do it with monitoring the clipboard.
