The hybrid laptop setup is much different than a desktop setup. You should only need one GPU for Linux, and if you are buying the latest Intel chip, you might not even need that, depending on what it is you do. For virtual use, I might stock up on all the RAM.
I think as long as the SOC Skylake supports Linux it will be pretty gosh darn cool, which it will, but will probably be mostly used for some horrible Surface type thingie. It would still be cool, but the desktop chips are the next generation as far as I know, and should have kernel implementation day of release. Open source and Intel has a rocky past but all I have is Intel so can not really compare chips. I can literally move drives from one computer to another and boot and that makes me happy.
But what's really important is Fallout 4, so that setup sounds just about perfect.
