You are in the minority, blind tests show that upwards of 90% of people prefer higher refresh rate when they are exposed to them side by side.

I spend most of my time looking at text and images, which doesn't really benefit from refresh rate.

If I played games with any sort of regularity, 1080p 144hz would be vastly superior to 60hz 1440p.

Used thinkpad with gnu/linux. No desktop required, gaming is for children.
