You are crazy —- the good kind of crazy tho —- for moving away from MacOS on your work machine.
I’m just a dabbler in all things Linux/sysadmin/IT who tried going from Windows to Linux as my desktop and did well until it came to dealing with X and graphics drivers for my aging nvidia 660. Sure I got everything up and running just fine with hardly any effort but just basic things like hardware acceleration in browsers and screen recording software were a giant pain in the ass that took entire weekends for me to only half way solve. Still, it taught me a lot more of how Linux has evolved since the dark days of floppy based Slackware and redhat installations. Give the people responsible for Quartz on OS X and the Windows GUI a kiss for me, bless their hearts. The year of Linux on the desktop will come when we can move away from the ancient parts of X and flatpaks are perfected.
