Very much so. Re: Dell being good for linux.

Not a laptop, but I have an Optiplex 9020 All in one from 2011 or so. It's so good. Has all the ports you need, a good webcam, speakers, display, for home usage. It works flawlessly with basically every linux distro and bsd out there. Even the CD drive, memory card slot work great.

I switched out the HDD for an SSD, and installed 8gb extra ram in the empty dimm slot, for a total of 12gb.
