I've owned two linux-friendly laptops I've really liked, and are the only laptops I've been productive on 1. 2012 System76 -- as Drew mentions they are overpriced for their performance but expensive is different than "non-existent". 2. 2016 Dell Latitude e7450 -- modernish performance, works seamlessly with xUbuntu, though I've never used the fingerprint sensor, and only $250 or so refurbished. I have good experience with Dell Latitudes in general, and I think they're an excellent Thinkpad alternative, not sure how this pans out for post 2016 models.
