I love Ubuntu. But I installed it on my MacBook and still had plenty of trouble with it. External monitor support is meh, plugging/unplugging them too quickly will cause issues. Plugging into a 1080p monitor alongside my MBP's retina monitor causes issues because I can't seem to run different DPI scaling factors on different monitors at the same time. Suspend didn't work at all at first, and didn't work reliably even after some hacking.

For a work machine, it comes down to reliability and a hassle-free experience for me.

Unfortunately Apple hardware is not particularly well supported by Linux.

Fair enough, suspend and some other small things are probably better on other machines. But the issues with external monitors and DPI scaling are gonna be present for all hardware.
