I'm running OpenSUSE on my Dell, IMHO, it has better hardware support then Ubuntu.
Visual Studio is available on linux: https://code.visualstudio.com/download

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are two different products.
Visual Studio for Mac also exists, but it is another different product (basically a rebranded MonoDevelop with some additional features)
Of course I did a clean install with just the drivers. But even like that, when it was new, I got 1 BSOD for every piece of software I installed. No joke. Even now, after almost 2 years and countless firmware and driver updates it has occasional hangs and issues. And no, you can't use the webcam as it just films your chest. And no, you can't use the microphone as it is in front of the track pad so your partner can barely hear you.
I'm using it mostly for Visual Studio. And though I still consider it the best IDE, it gets slower and crashes more with every new version since maybe VS 2010.
I'll stick to Macs at home. Thanks.
