All of those, except font smoothing and clipboard issues, I've recently only experienced under Nvidia's proprietary drivers. Intel's i915 and AMD's amdgpu drivers seem to work without issues. Font smoothing is occasionally inconsistent between modern and ancient apps, but the same happens on Win. As for the clipboard, I've only seen clipboard issues on my ancient Arch install, which I'm surprised even boots up at this point.
