Thinkpad T460p on arch linux for me (after getting macbook pro 2017 15 inch keyboard issues followed with cablegate immediately afterwards).

The T460p is a 2016/17 secondhand machine which cost USD235 which I then added a ram upgrade and a new 72Wh battery to. I don't miss the mbp at all and prefer the linux OS anyway.

It probably took me until this moment to realise I was largely falling for marketing in thinking only the best specs would do ...

Fedora on Thinkpad + custom desktop.

Windows 10 and WSL.

Have not found a good successor to Devonthink Pro though.

I did the same about a year ago.

Thinkpad running Manjaro GNOME

Works fine, haven't looked back.

Customize the hell out of Fedora. It is rock solid on most hardware. Once you get used to it, you won't want to use anything else.

Played it safe with an XPS + Ubuntu https://kvz.io/tobuntu.html

Same here, fedora on a thinkpad t14s.

Couldn't be happier.
