I think the best choice is to get a non-gaming Windows laptop and install Linux on it.

If you don't need something super powerful then get a refurbished Thinkpad T14 or Elitebook 840 G7 from eBay or Amazon.

Or if you need more CPU, a better screen, etc get a new Omnibook (7 or above) or Ideapad (5 or above) for a Macbook like feel or a Thinkpad for repairability.
