I'm on Gentoo myself, but for people coming from MacOS, I would recommend to give KDE Neon a try.
It's based on Ubuntu, but made by interfacers (the KDE team). I have used it for about a year and I thought during that time that it was "osx on linux", because of how well integrated everything was.
The Plasma desktop and the KDE project have been known historically to very well integrate their softwares with one another, but Neon is going a step further, by controlling the OS itself and being way less buggy that other distributions of the Plasma desktop.
That would probably be a good transition OS coming from Apple products, before people get a taste for chaos and pure freedom and want to go wild.
