Any Lenovo Thinkpad that meets your specs should be good. I just got a Thinkpad P14 with an AMD processor and it runs fedora, garuda, mint etc with no issues whatsoever. I've never had problems with Intel Lenovos either, so I suspect you'd be fine there as well. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/search?fq=&text=P14&rows=20&sort=relevance
In the past, I've heard great things about putting linux on Dell XPS, and I did 6 or so years ago with no issues, but I have no idea if they are still good laptops at this point (I was really disappointed with mine and its magnetic keyboard). I've heard that Dell's are still very linux friendly though, for what that's worth. System76 or Framework are also both options, but I've never used them.
