Anyway, yesterday I took delivery of a 2013 27" iMac in damn near mint condition for only the cost of postage, and I think it's fucking outrageous that I have to be at work instead of at home putting A Linux on it and faffing about with it.
Its inclusion in my studio means I have to re-jig everything, because a 27" iMac next to my 28" display is A Lot Of Screen. In fact, Too Much Screen for how I currently have it set up. But it'll be GLORIOUS once everything is in place.

I've now put CachyOS on this iMac, and my god, it's a damn fine computer. It's currently driving its own 27" 4k display, as well as my 28" 4K AOC display, and isn't breaking a sweat. I can't hear the fan at all, assuming it's even running. CachyOS was a piece of piss to install, and because the iMac has a Fusion drive, I've put /boot and /root on the 110gb SSD, and /home on the 1tb HDD, so it boots up in no time at all.
