I split my time 50/50 between macOS and Fedora 28. Fedora is very similar to Ubuntu from an ease of use standpoint, and something I'd happily recommend - especially if you use RHEL/CentOS servers. Compared to a Mac workflow, you won't have a handful of business apps (like WebEx or Office) but its mostly identical. Both Fedora and Ubuntu are on 6 month release cycles, so you can use your system's package manager (dnf or apt) instead of relying on Homebrew. There's also user collections of packages available from Fedora's COPR or Ubuntu's PPAs. You'll see better performance with containers, since you don't need to go through a Hyperkit VM and docker will just run natively. Out of the box, both run the GNOME 3 desktop, which is a bit of a mixed bag. The simplicity and ease of window management with shortcuts is great, and you can install extensions to modify GNOME's behavior. Unfortunately performance isn't exactly smooth, but you can look at other full-blown desktops (KDE, MATE, Cinnamon, Budgie) or fast window managers like Sway or i3. With regard to hardware support, I went with the Dell XPS 13. It's a great machine and I've had zero issues so far. Fedora even handles firmware updates through the update GUI.
