Ask HN: Recommended Laptops for Linux?

I have a 2017 15 inch MacBook pro, and in general I'm a bit underwhelmed with it.

The main reason I use MacOS is because it's Unix-like, all of the tools I require for work are available on Linux.

I have a Lenovo Yoga at home - but running Linux on it never seems to be very smooth - the main issue I have with it (and this is a bit of a deal breaker) is that it doesn't ever seem to work properly with my Thunderbolt docks. I have two thunderbolt docks, one is an OWC, which is plugged in to two LG 4K UltraFines and I have a Belkin which is plugged in to an LG 5K Ultrafine. For various reasons, I don't want to change these docking setups.

Things that are important to me the most are RAM and screen quality. Portability, disk space, high end graphics cards, touch screens, quality of keyboard/trackpad (almost always use the keyboard and mouse attached to the docks) are all lower down the list.

Can anyone recommend a good linux laptop that would fit the bill here? Thanks!
