Do you like Macs? Probably MacBook Pro then. Linux fan? ThinkPad (I like the chunkier ones, so T or P series) IMO. Although any high end offering from Acer, HP or Dell is nice too and all have decent reviews WRT Linux. Windows fan? Probably same. Biggest question though is what kind of gaming? Need discrete card or nah?

Yeah my ideal world would be to be able to play RDR 2 with 60fps on 1440p plus have a decent coding experience (aka UNIX).

So maybe dual boot a decently thin Windows laptop?

Yeah would probably just get an Acer gaming machine, ThinkPad P series or Dell XPS with discrete graphics. All work well with Linux, all have a decent amount of options, nice screens, etc...

You’ll need something with a Nvidia 20 or 30 series GPU(or AMD equivalent). Anything with integrated graphics will barely be able to run RDR2 at 1440p 10FPS
