Ask HN: Easy to move from macOS to Linux?

Is it easy to live on a Linux laptop nowadays? I'm a scientist and so I generally need a *nix environment for work. But I am also just a mainstream user, and I also a good chunk of time in in Microsoft Word/Excel, and depend on easy availability of common apps (e.g., Spotify, Slack, Evernote, Adobe Creative Suite, Dropbox).

I realize that Linux has a solution for pretty much every problem, and is extremely customizable. But I really just want it to be easy and maybe 95% the way there.

Any recommended rigs for this?
