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.
But on the other hand, many things that you take for granted on Windows are a pain on Linux. For example, if you want to see advertisements, you can’t just open the Start menu.

Great point, to add if you want cloud services just sign up to Microsoft as you set up a new computer, no choice, unless you look up how to bypass. In fact that no choice is presented as part of this process as it won’t let you carry on.
To be fair you do get subject to 3 pages of questions as to what you want to sign up for, e.g ads, I just clicked no to everythibg, got it set up, dualbooted to Linuxmint and have no looked back at windows.
With Linuxmint (or at least with the cinnamon desktop) there is an online services tool that allows you to sign up to the service of your choice, what IS nice is that they respect the fact MS offer these services and there is an option for Microsoft.
