IMO the best (or one of the best) for Linux :

Thinkpad Carbon X1 6th gen (or 7th now?)

I only wish it was sold without Windows so I can save $30-40 on the win license.

Other than that, freaking perfect laptop that rivals a macbook (I will admit that the mac trackpad is slightly better... but this one is pretty damn good)

I will definitely look at getting a Thinkpad next time.

I needed a laptop (I try to refresh every 4 years in time with Ubuntu LTS releases), and the Dell met my requirements at the time, so that was what I got.

I looked at getting an Macbook Pro, but I was worried about the keyboard issues (I do use the laptop keyboard), and I had read about Linux driver issues.

The keyboard is one of the best things about Thinkpads :)

My dream is Thinkpad keyboard + macbook trackpad... I can dream...

Mine is thinkpad 7 row keyboard and trackpoint on a Macbook pro.

I don't think either of us are getting one for Xmas. If I had become founder of a unicorn I'd have had one custom made by now...
