Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don't: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text.
More details here.
I believe they added this in windows recently. Otherwise I absolutely agree though.
I'll admit the "last time I tried it on Windows" has been at least two major versions ago. I've never owned a computer with Windows 10 and never used a computer with Windows 11.
