In addition to having a fantastic graphics card and processor, using a monitor with a high refresh rate makes a huge world of difference that I couldn't understand before.

There's a smoothness to every animation that makes my jaw drop. Even basic "snap to grid" window animations feel exquisite now.

Putting this all together with gaming is an experience that makes me want to joyfully cry out "I DIDN'T KNOW! I DIDN'T KNOW!"

Also: AAA big-name game titles work beautifully in Wine now. In fact, it's such a good experience at the high end that I don't even recognize that I'm using it. It feels native.

With experimental Mesa drivers on Wayland, I'm playing games like Cyberpunk 2077 at almost max settings (1080p, no raytracing) and the level of detail, fidelity, and smoothness is fucking mind-blowing.

Granted, Proton and Vulkan are doing most of the heavy lifting here, but it's legitimately shocking. I remember when Wine barely worked, and Linux game ports were incredibly shoddy.
