Personally, I like https://www.system76.com/ .  They really do seem to make sure everything is Linux ready even if you want to replace the Ubuntu they install with some other Linux.

As far as buying a pre-built machine with no OS, I know there were a couple of places but I do not remember who.

Is there anyone who sells computers without an operating system?  Sooner or later I'll buy another one and I don't want to pay for a Windows license I'll never use.  Also is there anyone selling computers with linux installed?  If so which distro?  If all else fails, I'll just buy the parts and build one.  However that might prove difficult if I wanted a laptop.
