I would look at a used/like new Dell XPS 13 which is very light and great specs. They have strong support for linux with Dell shipping ubuntu as an option.
Ebay has many listed under $500 with some as low as $150. The 4k screen is brilliant but comes with scaling issues under gnome (even with latest versions). Fractional scaling just isn't quite there yet. The 1080p option is cheaper and has slightly better battery life.

I have heard good things about this one. I’ll do some looking for a used one. Thanks!
