The biggest issues regarding linux compatibility is graphics cards and open source compatibility. If you get a computer with Nvida you will likely have to install the proprietary graphic driver, AMD does usually function with open source drivers but they can be a pain in the rear to tweak just right. Now we have Intel that usually works well with open source software ( I have never seen intel not be compatible with open source) but doesn't have the extreme power for high graphics used to play games like the witcher. If you don't plan to use for extreme gaming intel should work fine. A lot of people in the community use thinkpads too. I got my computer on Amazon for a great price because it was discontinued.
Something like this should do for what you described. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01L8PENQM/ref=psdcmw_13896615011_t3_B01M35U4BO

Btw, I recommend starting out with Mint Linux ( os ) with xfce ( de ) or MX 16 Linux with xfce ( truly a great os for beginners) or antergos. PM me if you want help learning Linux or preparing to install. It took me 2 weeks to find the computer I wanted.
