>GPU is worse off than windows. Nvidia has horrible support, there is no auto mode to dynamically switch
XPS 13 has no NVidia GPU's, and never has. I believe it has had upgraded Intel GPU, but never anything from NVidia.
>Keyboard typing is laggy
No issues here. I do live chat on it for my job on a daily basis.
>Touchpad does not support Palm detection for accidental swiping while typing
I haven't had a single laptop from multiple brands that worked with palm detection in Linux, they're all really bad.
>Overall not satisfied with Linux on xps for such a premium price
I run encrypted uefi Arch Linux and straight out of the box wireless works, all media keys work, audio works, keyboard backlight works, touchpad works great, touchscreen is accurate and I draw with a stylus in GIMP, nvme is just as fast as Windows, with tlp I achieve nearly 10 hours battery life on moderate brightness with 6-7 on full brightness. I can't really complain much. It's the best Linux laptop I've ever owned.

I have an XPS 15 with Nvidia GPU and I assumed XPS 13 is just the smaller screen version. Nvidia driver versions are a hit and miss on XPS 15.
