If I am correct, during Pangaea, the temperature was warmer than it is right now. The dinosaurs died off while the earth was cooling down. Does that mean if scientists want to revive dinsaurs and other *really old* creatures, then the world needs to heat up so they can survive/live?
As far as I can tell, they only have Ubuntu as the default Operating System. Though the computer should work with any Operating System that you decide to install/dual-boot.
I'm not sure of any vendors that have BSD pre-installed.
Their 15.6" Pangolin comes with all your criteria plus more (and even more if you want) except for maybe the heat issue, which I'm unsure about. It's around $1000.
I think it's the way to go. If I had $1,500 to spend, I would probably go straight for their computers.

I haven't actually used a System76 laptop, but they look really good: https://www.system76.com/laptops/
