@sandycorzeta I have done this. two issues:

1. even with the good trackpad, the linux trackpad software is just plain not as good, so it's still not as good as macos. it's better though!
2. power management isn't as good, it gets hot and uses battery a lot faster than macos. I always ran on wall power so didn't care, but it was noticeably way worse unplugged.

I guess also Linux is way worse at hotplugged monitors, but if you;re comfortable with linux you can just write little xrandr or whatever scripts to adjust and it works fine.
