I use XPS 13 (9350 model from 2016) with Fedora and it is mostly seamless. The only thing that does not work neither under original Ubuntu nor with Fedora was a "docking station", the extra that Dell provided that connects to USB-3 port and provided more ports, monitor connection and power. I just could not get it to work with an external monitor without being too blurry.
Hardware-wise the biggest disappointment was screen. QHD+ resolution is nice in theory, but the screen is just way too reflective. Using screen protector helped somewhat to mitigate the problem, but it is still far from what you get with proper mate screens. The screen can be a lesser issue if it could be opened to a wider angle, but the max angle is just not enough to avoid the reflections from surrounding lamps.
Another thing is the touchpad. It works OK but I do not understand why nobody in PC world can match Apple. Even touchpad on MacBook Air from 2013 is better than what Dell provides. And the issue is not the Linux drivers, as I run Fedora on that MacBook Air as well.
On the positive side the cooling fan is very quiet, way better than MacBook Air. Even under heavy load the noise is not distracting.
