If you drop a file while pressing the *CTRL* key when in another folder, the file will be copied to that directory. ![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2025/05/make-duplicate-files.gif) Use *CTRL+Z* to undo the file duplication. During this, your file manager will ask you whether you want to delete the copied file. ## 🤣 Meme of the Week The man's got a Debian-flavored beard. 😆 ![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2025/05/linux-meme.png) ## 🗓️ Tech Trivia On May 18, 1998, [the U.S. Department of Justice sued Microsoft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United%5FStates%5Fv.%5FMicrosoft?ref=itsfoss.com), alleging that the company was illegally monopolizing the web browser market by integrating its Internet Explorer browser into its Windows operating system. ## 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 FOSSverse Corner Pro FOSSer Neville has compiled [a table of Linux distros for beginners](https://itsfoss.community/t/table-of-linux-distros-by-difficulty-for-beginners/13636?ref=itsfoss.com) that is really well-made.
