My recommendation would be a ThinkPad with Fedora.

I have 32GB of RAM in mine and they are easy to open, service and upgrade :).

I use both and the last year has been the single best year I've had with Linux in terms of 'it just works', before that I used Ubuntu and while it was generally fine I prefer Fedora.

The cinnamon spin is superb and it makes windows 10 feel clunky by comparison on the daily usability.

How much money did you spend on it? I've looking for a Lenovo with 32GB for a while but always find just customized versions by third-party sellers

I paid £1368 for the T470P with the i7-7700HQ,2560x1440 screen, nvme ssd and 16Gb RAM and put the other 16Gb in myself.

It's a little monster of a machine.

Why not add the RAM yourself?

If you want to use a distro with first-class cinnamon support try Linux Mint.
