> unsure if getting my dual displays working(Apple Studio Display, LG Ultrafine) will be a pita on linux

My guess would be because you're going from an OS that handled everything for you to a completely customizable OS like ArchLinux. I have never had issues getting dual displays to work on Fedora. I have 2 Benq displays connected via thunderbolt on Fedora now and have done similar with the LG Ultrafine.

Not sure about this Apple displays. But I have driven dual 4K displays off of my HP Elitebook 850 g7.

I have actually gone back to 2K displays and I find those better for programming. I am currently running 3 2K displays (all of them massive 32 inch) via a single cable to my docking station. I also have a thinkpad t420s this can do the same. Both of them running Ubuntu 22.04

M1 granted, but display? It is appropriate for a 1500+ device, but nothing special.

Getting dual displays "working" is pretty trivial. Getting those two both working at the same time with the correct resolutions, DPI and fractional scaling will probably be close to impossible.
