Hi Ben,
I really understand your frustration using the mac book pro only. It's a bit to small for home use... And I'm a Linux user so macOS is not ideal for me. From my personal experience and opinion, I would never ditch a laptop with that kind of "power". I personally own a lot of computer's. I have like 5 Lenovo Laptops in different formfactors, a macbook pro, an imac and a solid desktop PC, and a couple more machines but they're not that usefull anymore. One of my Lenovos (thinkpad w520) ist a real powerful "Workstation" kind of laptop with a nice dock with a lot of screen outputs. This one is really useful in the office, because u can use it as a desk tower but sometimes u can take it home to finish some work. The other one is for power on the go, a thinkpad l450 14 inch wich is pretty much the biggest size of a laptop I would prefer you on the go. The last one I'm really using is a super cheap, always ready s120 Lenovo wich is totally awesome for just taking with you, for example to a cafe and don't care to much about. My desk is my baby 😂 I use it for like everything I REALLY do at home. Even if it's gaming on my windows part. Both of the macs stay at my "second home". Especially the imac is in my opinion a nice machine to work on (I don't know why, it feels really nice to work on). I pretty much use every single machine of them in they're special purposes. I ALWAYS use Version Control, in my case it's git on github, to share work between machines and to work individually on different machines.
So to come now to an end, I can guarantee you that you would not regret to invest in a solid tower. This is my personal favourite. But to keep a couple machines around you is never a bad idea.
If you want to get into Linux try Ubuntu first. This one is pretty elegant and uses kind of similar menus that macos has (actually that's the window manager gnome that is shipped with Ubuntu by default). If you want to try something different u can try Antergos wich is basically Arch with a nice Installer for an easier start. I luv it.
Greetings.
