KDE ships klipper by default which is the same thing and works fantastically. Supports multimedia and is fast, I only wish it had a cli tool instead of having to use xclip or qdbus. On windows I find ditto much more performant than the native clipboard manager.
The emoji and symbol picker on Windows 10 has type-to-search for emojis but not for symbols. It's such an annoying restriction. It's quicker to find and copy symbols from the web than trying to find them in the picker.
I don't know if Windows 11 is the same, but I hope this software hasn't copied it if it is.
1. It loads instantly rather than taking 2-3 seconds like the Windows version, which is super annoying
2. It retains the clipboard history across reboots, unlike the Windows version
3. It doesn't have a limit to the number of pastes saved, unlike Windows which has a limit of I think 10, so you can find entries from weeks ago
4. It's searchable
5. There's an incognito mode for when you need to copy and paste a bunch of things which you won't need later, or when you're copying sensitive information
Big fan, one of those things that are such a UX improvement that make using Windows feel like a hassle.
It's fine? Might be worse than Windows, but unless you spend long times away from a charger, it doesn't really matter, does it?
To answer your question, I might probably get around 5-6 hours of video playback (local files, not streamed) on my generic cheap x86 machine from 3 years ago from full to empty, but I don't have the windows equivalent numbers, and I limit charging at 80% and charge at 40% anyway so I don't actually go through a full charge cycle.
Yeah, I do wonder how this works for those copying keys and other private strings around. I'd rather they disappear on the next ^c than be pushed into an array somewhere, or worse, stored on disk.
I'll pay it forward by sharing another shortcut: Meta+. for emoji picker.

Main difference is that Win+V on windows also shows images/screenshots that you copied, while CopyClick only shows text.
