If you want to use linux on it check out some lenovo thinkpads or notebooks. I have an lenovo g50-80. Its 10 years old. I run debian on it. It has wifi issues cause of old hardware. But its fine otherwise. I have an asus laptop which I use daily running windows. That one is old too.
As far as alternatives go theres libreoffice. There's only office but its not open source maybe and it runs fine as an app image. You can google docs in browser anyway.
If you never used linux I wouldn't suggest putting it on a laptop you are going to get. Try it out in a vm. Keep in mind its a lot tinkering files to like run games on wine or lutris. The games you mentioned seem to run fine on proton I just checked.
