>Copy and paste was invented at Xerox PARC in the 1970s, and desktop Linux still hasn’t worked it out.

Not sure what you mean? In most app you can copy-paste with C-C C-V as on windows. Am I missing something?

I think their issue is that in standard Unix terminal you have to use Ctrl-Shift-C, since Ctrl-C is exit.

This isn’t an issue in Mac because you use the Cmd key instead of Ctrl for copy, so there is no overlap
