Battery life is ok, though sleep is not amazing (just got somewhat improved on the pro chips tho). You don’t have the ambient light sensor for auto brightness adjustment nor fingerprint. USB stack is a mild mess, but much better than before. You are forced to keep a MacOS partition (mostly for firmware updates iirc). Otherwise. Flawless. Very stable, only broke it through my skill issue (deleted /bin) or by my skill issue (updated to the next version of fedora before it was officially announced, and was experimental, and there was a kernel that broke the touchbar and sound). Camera works, speakers work, you get Vulkan acceleration on the graphics card, mic works, touchbar works, what else could you ask for?
I’ve been hesitant to do this to my own MacBook. How’s the battery life? Any caveats apart from the usb-c display driver?
