The new MacBook Pros with T2 chips do indeed kernel panic randomly

My advice as well – I'm running Arch Linux on a ThinkPad. Debian (unstable) or a recent Ubuntu version might work pretty well too. CentOS follows RedHat Enterprise Linux and has way too old software for modern desktop use (unless they have a branch hidden somewhere I'm not aware of).

Running old Linux versions on new laptops is going to be a frustrating experience; ideally all the device drivers you need are mainlined into the kernel of your distribution so you won't have to mess with those yourself.

I very much agree that CentOS will not be a good laptop/desktop experience. I have tried it, will not again.

If you like Red Hat stuff (which I do), install Fedora 28. It's on my Thinkpad right now, and works flawless.
