I tried Kubuntu with KDE (on Macbook 2015) and am amazed at how good and polished it is, even compared to later versions of macOS. Fractional scaling works perfectly, even on NVidia cards (my desktop).

Even the Windows issues with HiDPI are non existent on Kubuntu. Really a good OS.

A MacBook Pro doesn't have a HighDPI 4K display, which is where it falls apart. Indeed, it works fine on a MacBook because Retina is not the same thing! :)

I also have a computer with NVidia gpu (which turns fractional scaling into an unresolvable problem on Gnome currently, that's why I tried Kubuntu in the first place) and 28" 4K display running Kubuntu and use the display with the Macbook too. Works flawlessly.
