Right, I use those two apps because of familiarity and having them
configured to my liking, and they run well under Wine. It doesn't
mean I don't use native Unix-like apps.
What's the cool part?

To make Linux (any personal OS) look good, you need a sweet desktop and
wallpaper, shown on a large hi-def monitor, and ideally connected to a
beastly PC. A hottie standing nearby in a bikini with a snake around
her shoulders would help, too.

Might be interesting.
I have a 4K monitor.

Oh cool! Do you have window scaling on?
Actually, under Win11, it automatically scaled stuff to look "right",
but under Mint, I literally get four times the pixels of a 1080p
monitor, it's badass. I like it that way, I can see the small text
and such clearly. Switching OSes was an upgrade in that way, as it
was in a lot of ways.
