First check is your vim installation is enabled to access to the system clipboard.
:checkhealth
This show posible warnings like
Clipboard (optional)
- WARNING No clipboard tool found. Clipboard registers ("+ and "*) will not work.
- ADVICE:
- :help clipboard
try to put in ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
set clipboard=unnamedplus
If the clipboard still isn't working and your graphical environment uses Wayland, install:
wl-clipboard
sudo apt install wl-clipboard
At least in my case the clipboard between applications already works.
And remember, in VISUAL mode
y
for copy
p
for paste

I'm using different mappings for neovims clipboard and system clipboard, so when I delete something in neovim, I know that my system clipboard untouched and I can paste one thing or another, depending what I need.
