Just like in the title, I'm looking for something affordable but I have no real upper spending limit. 

Country: Poland

Specs: standard gaming specs, will be mainly used to do basic programming in C but also for gaming. 

 

I'd also prefer it to have long battery life and pre-installed linux/a link to a guide that will help me out with installing Linux (school stuff) 

 

Please help me out and thanks in advance :)

nvm this post

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

The OP wishes to game. I know very few "affordable" gaming laptops in general, much less those optimized for *nix, therefore, System76 seemed the logical solution

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Thanks so much for the replies, keep 'em coming :). I'm gonna check out system76 for anything close to what I'm opting for

 

 

Basically the option that I' ve built goes around 3k usd, that's a little bit too much but at the same time I want to invest in it so it stays powerful for at least 3 to 4 more years (hopefully more). What do you think I should do? Also, Pop!_OS or Ubuntu?

No harm done mate!

We all have off days. Mine off days end in "Y" but otherwise I'm on the ball

No, unfortunately. The good news is that I've decided on setting up a standard laptop on two different OSes. Thanks for all the replies, thought I owe you as much as an explanation. :)
