Neither company is perfect with Linux support. As with most things, there are pros and cons to both sides. But for anyone else reading here, just because you pick AMD does not mean everything is magically trouble free on Linux.

My rMBP has been able to do this since February, 2014. I was trying to get my RX 560 in mid 2018 to do this and it just was not possible via any means with Ubuntu 18.04. I ended up using an Nvidia 1040 with the binary drivers without issue. The nouveau driver for the 1040 was able to do it with a newer kernel than Ubuntu 18.04 had (I was using Arch for that test).
To get two 4k@60 outputs, I have to run two cables (it has two TB2 ports). With daisy-chaining, I got mirroring at best (I didn't check refresh rate at the time, though).
