[Linux] .jl files are identified as "plain text documents"

[TheLateKronos]

On windows, I chose to open .jl files in VSCode and .txt files in notepad.

I have installed linux, and now when i change the default program for .jl files, it also changes for .txt files, as both are identified as “plain text documents”:

How do I make my system treat them differently?

You can create a file type for .jl files, and associate it with the editor of your choice. I don’t know what desktop Linux Mint uses, so the way to do it will depend on that. If it’s KDE Plasma, you can do it like this, using System Settings → Applications → File Associations.
