You should be in a good place with a laptop with integrated intel/amd graphics, and an Intel wifi card. Graphics and wifi are the most common pain points when it comes to linux so you can narrow down and research from there. I’ve had good luck with Dell and Lenovo. Currently have a Lenovo yoga with touchscreen and everything except fingerprint scanner works out of the box.

There are some linux friendly OEMs too like framework, tuxedo, and ststem76 that are worth taking a look.

DNS filering alone doesn’t work for YouTube in my experience.
