- lxfontes 11y agocurious to know the 'what works / what doesn't work' here. I truly believe this battle to be between xps13 / retina 13.
- jpgvm 11y agoEverything I use works, hardware media keys, brightness controls etc. The only thing I am not sure about is bluetooth as I don't use it. I am not the biggest fan of the XPS 13, the few I have encountered all seem to have hardware issues of some sort. I bought one for my partner about 2 years ago (the developer edition with Ubuntu) and it had horrible screen whine that Dell wasn't interested in fixing.
- great_kraken 11y agoHow are your touchpad drivers doing? On every Macbook I've used with Linux, the touchpad was terrible, because it was missing palm detection and had awkwardness when using more than one finger.
- jpgvm 11y agoSeems fine to me but I don't really use the touchpad much, just occasional web surfing etc. I did remember it being a pain to setup customised acceleration etc for it in X.org but apart from that not too bad.
