Yes. MacOs is opaque. Who knows why it is doing x? Is it spotlight? Some update, some out of date thing? Who knows if it will be supported and for how long. Then there is my 2012 Macbook running Ubuntu (not even the best Linux just the one I know the best). Linux provides better support for my Macbook than Apple. It is at least twice as fast as the last time I ran a Mac OS.

And did I mention it is fun?

Do you dual boot? Are you able to return to MacOS easily if you want to? I've been thinking about trying to run Linux on my 2015 MBP but I haven't done anything with it yet.

I do not dual boot. I have a second old Mac which runs MacOs, mostly for games and every now and then IOS development. That one does dual boot Windoze, so that I can test the few things I do for windows. Dual boot is nice but at least for me not a great solution because of the shut-everything-down->reboot->start-everything-up time.
