      I do too but it’s usually unintentional

        HOW? In what manner of mouse using are you accidently clicking the paste button?

          Having a mouse button being over-sensitive or being used to another middle clic behavior like windows’ autoscroll toggle will tend to do that. Having a fullscreen software using MMB for something else like panning and failling to fully capture the mouse on the current screen in a multi-monitor setup also.

          Two finger scroll on my touchpad and another finger lightly presses it turning it into a middle click paste

            That’s interesting. It never does that with my touchpad. I wish it did though.

            What desktop environment?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
