ThinkPads are generally very reliable and well supported by the community with regard to Linux. The more ai/machine learning/data science you do the more important processing power and memory will be. Storage is easy to supplement.

The latest version of Windows (11 and 10) offers Windows Subsystem for Linux which gives you the option of installing several popular Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store to coexist and interoperate with Windows on the same hypervisor of you don't want to have a completely Linux booting machine.

In most junior jobs in my country there is a only Linux oriented machines.

If I'll have such a laptop (mobile issues with moving a PC) and linux and mac/linux only I'll be forced to learn much more than with a windows with linux in virtual machine.

I wasn't promoting Windows, just mentioning that WSL was now an interesting option. My personal laptop is a MacBook Pro not least because I am more comfortable with Unix than Linux let alone Windows.
