Mine was i5 and I had issues with thermals while connected to external display... turned out that over the years it accumulated so much dust that it was virtually clogged. Given it was way past over any warranty (it was around 2019) I opened it, cleaned it up and all heating issues went away :) When I got M1 I was on a fence with getting a linux machine but in the end the device was sponsored and ARM (cool and silent) won me over (I can't stand the nosie). I think that it's almost certain next machine will be Linux as apple and macOS are utterly annoying...
