Linux capable laptop for darktable

I very rarely upgrade and recently replaced my 11year old Latitude 6520 with a Precision 7760. A great price as a Dell refurb, has a Xeon W-11955M, 128GB ram, nvidia rtx5000 with 16GB ram. Has 4 nvme slots in total, so storage won’t be an issue. Only came with a 1080p screen but has great gamut coverage, maybe I’ll swap it out for a 4k one in the future but 1080 suits me just fine. Running Fedora and haven’t had any issues with it. Built like a tank, hopefully last another 10years+.

Not an option if you like sleek and light weight!

I’m currently using System 76 Serval WS (no longer made unfortunately) that has an AMD desktop processor, 6GB DDR6 GTX 1660 Ti video and a ton of memory. Runs DT well!
If I decided to change now, I’d probably go with System 76 Oryx Pro. comes with either 15" or 17" screen, Nvidia 3070 Ti or 3080 Ti GPU.
As for a screen, I have a BenQ monitor I use for my photo processing.
Although I would probably hold out for a laptop that has AMD processor. I just prefer AMD for whatever reason.
As of this post (August 31) System 76 is having a sale on the Oryx Pro
