Had a similar experience and ended up utterly disappointed with my most expensive MabBook Pro a few years ago when they introduced the touchbar and butterfly keyboard. It was my forth MacBook — I was happy with the first two models, but had to upgrade every three years to have decent performance. After almost 15 years of being an Apple customer, I got sick and tired of the hardware becoming more expensive and less robust with every generation.
Long story short: Switched to a decent Tuxedo computer running Pop!_OS and I never want to go back or somewhere else. This setup is working flawlessly for five years now and the hardware still performs like a charm. I got 40 gigs of RAM when I bought it, which wouldn't even have been an option if I had upgraded to another MacBook Pro back then — and I paid half of what I spent on my previous MBP.
Linux has come very far during the last years and though it took me a while getting accustomed with some of the software changes (your milage may very, depending on the field your working in and what kind of apps you use) I am more than happy with making the switch, especially since Pop! is a really user friendly OS — strong recommendation from my side.
All the best for switching! :)
