     @waifu show her the "Software" app. Warn her that Wayland broke a bunch of stuff.

     @waifu yeah. Programs that screen record or interact with the pastebuffer are most often what's broken by it. It's important to warn her that something called "Wayland" broke stuff like this, as otherwise Linux itself just looks broken when the first apps she tries all completely fail to work.
     With that caveat, "Software" is great for normies. It's a very accessible free store for somewhat-sandboxed apps.
