Ubuntu or a desktop that only uses Plasma apps may fit the bill. Plasma looks great but has a limited ecosystem. Ubuntu looks ok, but has a wider ecosystem.

What's most amusing to me is that I spend a considerable amount of time with Homebrew and others trying to make my MBP more Linux-like besides running Linux under Parallels. Getting Mac GUI binaries to run on [insert god-like desktop of your choice] would be very nice for the required closed course apps I must use. Developing for iOS (because I must) in Linux would be great. Otherwise, this feels like a step backwards.
