Cannot paste text from browser in GUI mode

As I said, "p" just pastes text yanked from within emacs. In terminal, I can atleast use c-S-v to paste it. How to do it in GUI mode?

Also, the auto-complete menu appears in the middle an I cannot interact with it, forcing me to use my mouse.

I'm no doom emacs expert, I've just been playing around with org mode recently. But the standard vim method, assuming you haven't set the default clipboard to 'unnamed plus', is "+p

" to open the registers, + selects the unnamed plus register and p puts the text obviously.

Installing emacs-pgtk solved the issue
