I recently went on this very quest and bought a Dell Precision 5520. It comes pre-installed with Ubuntu, so that helps with overall Linux support. There are a lot of configuration options since this is considered a workstation. But don't let that word fool you, it is a pretty sleek machine.
Overall I've been happy with it. There are a couple minor things that could be better. The placement of the camera makes it nearly useless. It's at the bottom of the screen, near the hinge. When I'm on a hangout, people get to see my fingers type and stare deep into my nostrils. If I was 100% remote, I might pass on this machine just because of that.
It was really difficult to find the "developer" machines on the Dell site. You can go directly to dell.com/developer to see them all.

I think I saw that camera in the CrappyDesign subreddit 😂
