I wouldn't risk the pain. You'll have to do a fair bit of research to figure out how easily Linux can be setup on a given laptop, and if you'll have to deal with the UEFI secure boot madness or not.
I just got a laptop from system76.com instead and I'm very pleased with it. No messing about. I know it works with my OS.
If that's not appealing, then Linux works great on Apple laptops.
