"Everywhere" except Windows and Mac, which can make transitioning more friction-y than it needs to be. As Windows users continue to exodus it makes sense to me to tune onboarding for brand-new users from other OSes instead of other Linux distros.

I'm very glad the option will remain for existing users.

I've never liked this take that "Linux should be like Windows to take windows' market"

It really isn't that black and white. Windows is more popular because it's forced on the majority of people, not because the way they do things is inherently better. Linux has and will do it's own thing and Windows will do whatever the trend to chase is.

I'm happy with that.

I read that as "everywhere on Linux", so those are irrelevant.

What friction is added by it being possible to middle click paste?
