Review comment:
Yes, I hear you. But there is not other documentation to check, and how is one supposed to "find one that does". I don't know what causes a VNC server to have clipboard functionality that works or doesn't with guacamole, but it's certainly not something they document in a clear way! Would a "known good" / "known missing some functionality" list be more palatable? It would at least be less wordy.

Review comment:
My thought, here, is that, instead of trying to cover what the capabilities of specific distributions, versions, and VNC servers support, it might be better go more generic. Something more like `Your distribution and VNC server may not support clipboard functionality - please check the documentation or locate a VNC server/version that does.`
I'm just not sure the Guacamole Manual is the place to try to document (and keep up-to-date) the capabilities of various distributions and VNC servers. I don't think that'll scale well :-).
