A couple months ago I bought a Dell XPS 13 (signature edition) off of Amazon because it was a few hundred dollars cheaper than buying it from Dell, and installed Linux over it.
It's a Skylake machine, and it's been working great. I'm using Debian Testing with the kernel pulled from Sid (necessary to get the wifi working).

As far as I can see, this seems to imply C8 is working fine?
- mjg59 11y agoCould you paste the output of sudo lspci -vvv and cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version somewhere?
- webaholic 11y agoNot OP, but I have dell xps 15 skylake. (i3-6100H) http://pastebin.com/iX67Rcwh http://pastebin.com/iX67Rcwh I am currently running Ubuntu 16.04 4.4.0-8 kernel which works fine. The ubuntu backport of i915 from 4.6 to 4.4 which is present in 4.4.0-9 causes weird video issues.

- pandada8 11y agoany source?
- chias 11y agoSure! lspci -vvv: http://pastebin.com/raw/FUsMqPZz http://pastebin.com/raw/FUsMqPZz cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version: 1.2.3 Happy to provide any other info as well, I love this machine to bits and would be happy if I could help other people enjoy it too.
