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.

Annoys me that "modern" in this case means whatever Microsoft does and whatever Microsoft users are used to. Especially since a lot of those "modern" binding have been around since the 80s.
"Modern" has become one of those words that's way over used to the point of meaninglessness.
Those keybindings are prevalent outside of windows though, Ctrl+C is almost universally copy and Ctrl+V is almost universally paste - it might have been popularised by windows at some point in history but it's well beyond that.
There's an argument for consistency, especially with basic functions.
