I use to be a huge Ubuntu fan but decided to move back to a hackintosh ~2 years ago.
I still use ubuntu often so i went with Ubuntu Budgie https://ubuntubudgie.org
It has that whole "MacOS" dock look and feel right out of the box.
Good that you found an alternative OS and kept your old mac running. So many people seem content to spend big money on a Mac laptop, have it reach EOL and become landfill as they run out and buy a new one.
Yeah, using non-Apple monitors with a mac is a pain. Try "Retina Display Manager" - https://github.com/avibrazil/RDM - as it allows you to switch to the sharper HiDPI resolutions supported on your monitor.
