Seeing as you have money (you bought a mac), there are probably more than enough linux laptop and desktop brands out there.
Linux Preloaded has an overview. My favourites (because Europe) are:
- Tuxedo Computers ๐ฉ๐ช
- Slimbook ๐ช๐ธ
- Starlab Systems ๐ฌ๐ง
There's no need to give your money to anti-competitive business like Apple, HP, Lenovo, etc. You can contribute to an alternative, more open, competitive ecosystem. A new macbook pro costs ~2kโฌ. You can get something roughly similar for 1.2kโฌ from tuxedo computers: infinity book. You can configure that to have 96GB RAM and 6TB storage and you're now at about the equivalent price tag. If you want a version with a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card here you go. Or here with an AMD graphics card. Both with 64GB RAM and 2TB storage (4x that of the default macbook pro). Go NVIDIA if you want AI/ML stuff, go AMD if you just want to game.
Those were tuxedo computers laptops, and they have more, but Slimbook has similar laptops (example). Starlab Systems books are more expensive, but still provide more bang for the buck than Apple and are very customisable.
