I use macos for my desktop, but it has gradually become a terminal emulator + firefox + mail. and for mail, I won't move to catalina mail because they nerfed it.

Eventually this will all be linux. I just have to make the time to figure out a good desktop setup.

EDIT: actually preview (space bar in finder) on macos is quite useful.

That's pretty much what I use these days. Plus emacs. I run a minimal gentoo setup and hate using other computers as they are always sluggish despite having newer and more powerful hardware.

You should look into a tiling window manager. It's really liberating to stop worrying about wm behaviour.
