My pet peeve is the default clipboard behavior, personally I hate when I select text and it overrides the previous content in the clipboard.

  clipboard and selection buffer are separate, though I think there is a situation that co-mingles them.

  That's not the default in all Linux desktops I've seen.

  There are two clipboards in X11. One is the middle-click-paste, selection clipboard that gets clobbered when you highlight something. But C-x, C-c, and C-v (in CUA applications) operate on a different clipboard altogether that doesn't exhibit this behavior.

    And that is awesome feature that I miss a lot in other operating systems.

      It's a wart of X11, which is obsolete and deprecated. Wayland has a single clipboard which behaves in mostly the standard way.
