I'm going to use debian as an example (since this is what I use): * Fonts configuration & tools -- https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts * I've always found if the touchpad was decent enough all the gestures could be easily configured and supported * Touchpad configuration and tools -- https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad * Connecting external displays stopped being wonky 5 years ago. In modern KDE this requires connecting the display and then opening display configuration dialog in System Settings. * For color calibration, have you tried something like ColorHug 2? https://hughski.com/colorhug2.html https://hughski.com/colorhug2.html A friend of mine has the previous version of it and likes it a lot, but I haven't had the need to calibrate my displays. * Power management -- If you choose the hardware with good linux support. * rootless/SIP -- there is selinux, but in general linux security model is different from apple, you just pick whatever technologies you more comfortable with and want to use.
