If you have gained some Linux skills after using Ubuntu for some time, you may try switching to these distributions to explore the world of Linux distributions further.
Ubuntu is one of the best Linux distributions for beginners. It's an excellent platform for people new to Linux. It is easy to install, has tons of free resources available along with a massive list of applications available for it. https://itsfoss.com/distribution-after-ubuntu/

Like you, I haven't been arsed yet to track down who is at fault for Vi/Vim's recent stupid mouse-click behavior.
However, holding down SHIFT (possibly just right-shift) before starting a mouse action in Vi/Vim will produce the expected results for both copying and pasting.
