Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don’t: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text.

You vlassifying it as “pedantry” supports my point. It’s also ironic, considering you told somebody else to not call it GNU+Linux instead of the other way around.
