Have you considered a Framework 13 Pro? If you're fine with MacOS then Macbooks are still hard to beat. You won't get Linux support for the newer Apple M* chips.

I use a Lenovo ideapad 330. Core i3, 20GB memory, 512GB SSD & 1TB SSD for storage. Pretty happy with it running Linux, but I don't do anything really heavy either.
