My wife meticulously right-clicks for the context menu, and clicks copy, and then again for paste. My inner ctrl-c, ctrl-v screaming the entire time.

Maybe it's the lack of feedback, have you tried installing some snackbar that will popup when she presses ctrl+c?
When they start using shortcuts I didn't know existed lmao
Strg + Win + Alt + Shift + L in Windows opens Linkedin.
On Windows, Alt+Esc puts the focused window at the very back of the window stack
As a teacher, I love control-shift-T.
“No Mr, I wasn’t playing Geometry Dash!”
The devil incarnate
A well timed “ctrl w” is also very useful. Say goodbye to your ELO…
Only amatures don’t use a private browsing window.
I once blew a coworker's mind with Alt-Tab.
I taught multiple people in my life how to select multiple file with Ctrl+LMB and Shift+LMB.... we're all the same age
Shift delete bypasses the recycle bin and deletes the selected files directly.

On windows, ctrl+shift+esc brings up the task manager and not the menu most people click the task manager in.
win+x on windows 8 forward brings up a system shortcut menu
Worth noting that using ctrl+shift+esc will not send a cpu interrupt, so it won't help if stuff is locked up.
That I oddly knew about, but others here might not :b
Shit, some people are just hated by computers.
I remember my friend was having an issue and I am walking him through how to fix it. I tell him exactly what to do, watch him do it exactly, and it kept failing.
I take over, do the exact same thing I just had him do 3 times which didn't work, but when I did it it worked. We were both confused as fuck. He appears to be one of those people that technology never seems to work around.
I have the fun privilege at work these days of being the guy who sometimes makes things work just by walking in the room.
It feels like a tale as old as time. I'm one of the few software engineers working on the embedded code in our new product, and occasionally a technician or V&V tester or different discipline engineer will ask me to look at something acting funny. And I fully believe them, not just because they have no reason to lie but because "acting funny" is exactly the lifestyle our system is living!
Sometimes I get to lean on my experience with the code, then glare at something on the screen and say I don't trust it, and that leads us to the fix. But about half the time, just sensing that somebody called daddy into the room makes it stand up straight and stop fucking around, lol.
This became a running joke with an old boss. He told me when I started that he was a human EMP for electronics. He wasn't lying. Just the most baffling problems constantly. Then he'd joke that I needed to touch it and sure enough, it'd work for me. I once watched him enter his password 3 times. It didn't work. I did it. It worked. I watched his damn fingers.
We have a friend who's banned from touching the music at partys because he will find a way to accidentally delete the playlist, no matter what we do to make it idiot proof.
I think the password is a timing thing. When I type in the same password that failed but slower, it works. I suspect I'm probably brushing another key when fast typing.
They need to offer more prayers to the Machine Spirit

Me using nano while my pro colleagues are using vim
why use big tool when smol tool do what need? Big tool waste time with learning curve, and easy tool come with everything. sometime vi probably better but most time me no remember how use. so nano always right tool except when use bash redirect. simple tool.
It's horrible. In my head, I'm screaming "just do a tab completion" instead of running ls and then copy and paste the file name.
Why does she do that?
Ignorance and and unwillingness to learn.
Friend told me it was quicker to get screenshots from a game using F12 with steam, and copying it. After I told him he could press Alt+print screen, and directly paste in steam chat.
Me with the fact that I like Linux Mint and ZorinOS, but I don't understand how to make a single command in the terminal. Hypothetically, I know how to learn, but I'm too lazy to do it yet.
That's exactly what Mint is for really - for people that wany to transition from Windows to Linux but without being crippled for a few months, not being able to perform basic operations without a guidebook.
I'm on the same boat, champ
I'm kinda happy that this is possible in Linux now. I remember when even the "easy" distros were still not user friendly enough for mass adoption
Does every commenter in here just pay zero attention to how much ass they suck at new things in the beginning?
no, but if you consider computers new we clearly have other definitions of the word "new".

And this is why Copilot failed. It’s bad enough watching a human do dumb shit on a computer, but having to watch a dipshit AI fumble around on your machine just takes it to a whole new level.
Watching someone use a laptop with a trackpad only when there's a mouse right there is my hell.
Watching someone constantly take their hand off the keyboard to use the mouse when there's a trackpad right there is my hell.
bats mouse away in a power move
