Lenovo Thinkpad T14 and X13s are supported on linux - you can even get some of them with linux preinstalled.
I usually aim for newest supported HW to extend useful live - so, the last time I ended up paying MS tax, but I still get bios updates via fwupdmgr and everything working without issues. I cannot recommend Dells shipping with Linux right now - they ended up being devoid of even basic number of USB ports recently. If you do not need more than 1 or 2 USB-C ports (one taken by the charger) - and can receive Fed-Ex delivery (I cannot - no office front) - Dell's XPS13 are pretty nice computers too. ... there are more linux laptops out there -though I did not try them.
