For general "work" type use I'd go with a Thinkpad X1 Carbon. It's the best tradeoff between portability and a keyboard that has enough key travel to type on.
Gaming is kind of annoying on laptops. Having a discrete GPU is a pretty big hit on portability and battery life. Intel integrated graphics are actually pretty awesome, they just don't run some modern AAA games.
On Linux especially another consideration is GPU drivers. The top performing mobile graphics is Nvidia - and that'll provide great performance out of the box on Ubuntu or PopOS - but the compatibility will die when Nvidia stops supporting your card in the blob or you try to run a distro with an out of sync kernel. If you really want full dedicated Nvidia graphics, I'd go with the System76 Gazelle - that means you have a chance at System76 mantaining a PopOS version with the older kernels and blobs you'll need in the future.
For moderate gaming I'd consider the Thinkpad A485. The AMD APU is a little beefier than Intel integrated graphics. It'll run most games nicely, and should even run many modern games at 1080p low. Make sure you get dual channel RAM, that you run a modern distro (newer than Ubuntu LTS), and that you update the firmware.
AMD did release a laptop version of the RX580. That'd be a pretty good deal, but as far as I can tell zero laptops currently have them. The couple that did were 17" models, and at that point you're better off with a desktop IMO.
