Nice setup! I love the monitor.

I've been with Macs since university, 25 years ago. I was linux in university, but after I graduated I found myself wasting too much time fiddling so I moved to a system that would handle it for me while still offering me the BSD command line if I really wanted it. These Apple Silicon machines are amazing, aren't they? I am tempted to upgrade to the M3, but I'm find with the M1 right now, so I'm avoiding the gear lust.

I don't know much about the audio stuff, but sounds like you have it all set up well.
