Well, Welcome to Apple World :)

If you're on Mx (Silicon) then there is no chance you're unhappy. They fixed a lot of issues from the "right after Jobs" era there and this computer shines again.

and you can still tinker with your Linux there when you install VMWare Fusion. Windows on Arm also works smoothly as VM there. And Wine on my M4 plays all the recent games really good! More games on Mac too. All apps are there, creative, business, tech/nerdy.

You made right choice and soon you'll discover that you have a saingle computer that like a chameleon can be all of the computers of past and tomorrow under a single hood!
