Ones of the reasons I like Pop, they install a recovery partition with a copy of the install USB, finally they have a ‘factory reset’ that reinstalls the OS while keeping the users home folders.

Rust and a bit of Python
You can try making a virtual machine with a 20 GB virtual hard drive to try out different Linux distros in the meantime.
Were you running Wayland by any chance?
I was able to use this guys docker image and tool in order to cross compile my Rust programs in the past. They were very simple programs so I dont know how well it works for larger projects.
They run them through QA at least and work directly with Nvidia to fix any issues they notice. They dont catch everything of course but its still good.
If you want to support Linux devs and continued development, I would buy from System76, Tuxedo Computers, or even Framework.
If you’re going to buy used then yeah the Thinkpad is fine.
System76.com has laptops like that imo
I just installed TrueNAS on a desktop with a lot of SATA slots. https://www.truenas.com/
This is my recommended gaming distro, its actually works from my experience unlike the 3 different arch based distros I tried.
It depends on the person and their experience obviously, but for me, trying Linux back in 2020 felt like when I was new to computers in general and was poking around and learning Windows XP for the first time. It was fun seeing all the different settings options and features that were new to me.
I found a thinkpad with a radeon GPU for only 200 which was nice.
