Lenovo ThinkPad
Other options: Framework, Dell Latitude
Used ThinkPads and Dells with Linux for a decade before switching to Framework two years ago. The Framework is great but it's probably not as cheap as you can get a ThinkPad deal for. That said, repair costs on a Framework are likely lower than any other option. Batteries are cheap, motherboards aren't cheap but they're available and very easy to swap, so the next time you have a serious problem you won't have to swap the whole laptop. Assuming Framework remains a good company till then.
I would also add HP Probooks and Elitebooks, which are HP’s business lines, to that list. I have had good experiences with those on a variety of Linux distros.
