Excellent choice of CPU. These new Ryzens absolutely SCREAM in comparison to anything that Intel has ever come up with, and this seems like a good rig.
Apparently the Zen 3's even outdo the M1 if you overclock them. I'm highly impressed looking at the benchmarks because the M1 is itself an absolutely record shattering CPU, and it does it at 3.2ghz in a tiny power envolope. But Apple has designed those for phones and tablets and macbooks, not for desktops that can take advantage of higher power envolopes. In terms of raw performance, AMD literally took the crown this year and stole Apple's thunder. Quite frankly I'm impressed with both of them.
Do you find that you use Linux or Windows more often?
