I will happily swap my Mac for a laptop that could reliably run Linux if I ever find one. I had a machine from System 76 where a video driver would break with every major Ubuntu update. Dell XPS 13 developer edition seems to have a surprisingly shitty Linux support too (e.g. see the comment section here http://goo.gl/wVKsDL). Are there other options?

Librem 13 is pretty slick, if you want a black MacBook Air knockoff with good build quality, i5, and its own Linux distro tailored to run the hardware and respects your privacy.

The Asus UX305 works handsomely with Fedora 25, including close to nine hours battery life with light use, flawless sleep/hibernate, etc..
