I’m thinking of getting a laptop to run Linux on. I’ve heard Lenovo is generally well-supported (particularly models that come with Linux pre-installed).

Is there any particular hardware I should watch out for / avoid, and / or prefer? Any other brands / models people would particularly recommend?

    I’ve run Linux on basically any kind of computer but if you want something that works well out of the box either go with the computers that come preinstalled with Linux like system 76 and tuxedo or stick to the big name brands like hp, dell, Lenovo, etc. My current daily driver is a HP ProBook running Ubuntu. I have had issues in the past with lower end HPs and Lenovos. So id recommend getting a used higher end laptop then a cheap new one if your budget is concerned
