Turns out I’m not the only one who struggled with the copy/paste functionality in Linux. Someone posted an Ask Slashdot question about that same topic, and the answers are telling. There’s not a fix, per se, but a ton of viewpoints on how people need to try to adapt to the operating system – instead of how the operating system just flat out needs to work. Copy/paste isn’t rocket science, and if Linux is going to win desktop users away from Windows, that’s a basic piece of functionality that needs to be in place first.
