This is pretty neat. Anyone know how well these run Arch Linux? I tried out a new Dell XPS, but it didn't handle Arch very well..

- thepiwo 9y agoThe newest XPS13 handles Arch really well
- dijit 9y agoI have a precision 5520, running arch, everything works flawlessly. Including the dock on the latest 1.5.0 UEFI firmware.
- ylere 9y agoI have an XPS15 (9560) and it runs really well. The arch wiki has lots of information: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_15_9560 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_15_9560 You do have to tweak it a bit to make everything to work perfectly and get the power consumption down. Overall I'm quite impressed with the machine and the experience. I switched to Dell after having used a MacBook Pro for many years. The 4K screen is gorgeous, it's fast, it has 32gb of RAM and the build quality is good. The TouchPad is a tad bellow Apple level in terms of feel & precision though. One big benefit of Dell is that you can get proper, next day Support if something breaks (while with apple, you are supposed to drive your work machines to the Apple Store and then wait for a replacement).
