Your best bet will be to buy a computer with an accessible linux already installed. This work https://www.thinkpenguin.com/ has done before. You could buy a computer from big box stores but then you'd have to get windows and all the bloatware off it. Another possibility would be to buy a new computer and if it can accommodate two hard drives buy two additional hard drives. When you get everything, pull the hard drives out of the computer and replace them with the lank hard drives you bought. Then you probably will have a platform on which linux can be installed. I say probably since certain Dell dimension laptops are incompatible with linux. The other thing to avoid are subscription plans for keeping windows updated. That means you don't buy HP computers since these come with subscription plans that have to be renewed after five years or your computer stops working until the renewal gets done.
