I again see a lot of outdated comments about Linux here. Not saying there aren't problems, but as somebody who uses macOS every day, it's nothing I haven't experienced on other OSes as well. Give it a shot yourself and make up your own mind.
If you're thinking about switching, I'd recommend you looking past stock Ubuntu, it is no longer the premiere distro in the community, instead consider:
First off, pick supported hardware - you'll do that for Windows and macOS as well.
Use known hardware, like Intel, use DELL XPS or system76, it will save you a lot of frustration.
Ubuntu MATE - https://ubuntu-mate.org https://ubuntu-mate.org - If you need the Ubuntu ecosystem, UM offers a more polished experience, if not as much eye candy.
Arch Linux - https://www.archlinux.org https://www.archlinux.org - Before you skip this, no it's not unstable, at all, I clock one of my systems at 3+ years without an issue, the rolling release is great and the AUR makes any software just a command away. No fuss, just works.
The ArchWiki is the best resource on all things Linux, it' great.
Fedora - https://getfedora.org https://getfedora.org - If you want stock GNOME.
KDE - https://neon.kde.org https://neon.kde.org - If you want upstream KDE.
