Linux is a spectacular OS compared to Linux, but my workflow experience
is that Windows cut and paste is much simpler and easier to use than
Linux'. I'm not a fan of multiple paste buffers.

Linux cut and paste is different on lxterminal vs xterm, different on
xterm with and xterm without tmux, etc, so of course it will be
different depending on whether Vim is GUI or hosted on a terminal
emulator. These things aren't Vim's fault. The one thing I could blame
on Vim is that Shift+',Shift+8,yy doesn't do what I think it would do,
requiring middle mouse rather than Ctrl+v or Edit>Paste to paste.
Shift+',Shift++,yy is more what you want, but even then Ctrl+V won't
paste.
