You're going to get some responses where people say System76 and Pop_OS!, but it really only visually looks decent and optimizes much of the Linux laptop experience. It still doesn't have, for instance...
- Application support for graphics editors that people need in 2019... you can either run macOS or Windows for this
- Built-in cross-device syncing like iCloud/CloudKit
- Smooth integration with peripheral devices (e.g, HandOff)
This list could be extended for quite a ways, as people seemingly want to ignore part of what still makes macOS great - you have very well done product integration across the entire stack. I want it to "just work" in 2019 so I can live my life instead of tinkering with an OS/hardware combo.
The analogy I like to give people is that buying a Macbook is kind of like buying a BMW after years building your own tuner car. I'll always enjoy building my own, but man... if my daily driver breaks, I just wanna pay someone to fix it. Gimme the luxury feel already.

- Klonoar 7y agoCompared to Linux on a laptop: the over-tweaked Mazda RX7 rolling down the road, loud as hell, where the slightest wrong bump may give you hours of fun/hell in fixing parts. You're also missing seats because you put a roll-cage in for whatever reason.;P
