How is your battery life? I also installed ubuntu on my xps, and I'm only getting about 2 hours max, although I always keep it plugged in, so it's not a real issue for me. As for hardware issues, I had to download wireless drivers, which was a slight pain since there is no ethernet port. I was able to get my video card working with optimus, but that wasn't non trivial. I wound up disabling my track pad and using a mouse since I couldn't type without the cursor doing something, and it seems like one of the trackpads buttons broke after a days use.

Just got the XPS 13 developer edition here so still brand new. I am getting 10 hours or so with web browsing

Its a bit hard to read the times, but its more than 8 hours with 17% left as I plug in for the charge. https://imgur.com/a/C7rCKeK https://imgur.com/a/C7rCKeK

My battery life is pretty fantastic. Around 8 hours or so with docker running and doing development. https://i.imgur.com/xYkGRdJ.png https://i.imgur.com/xYkGRdJ.png I had zero hardware issues. it all just worked. I would say installing Ubuntu was a little tricky due to UEFI, but other than that no issues. I have a XPS13 so no dedicated video card. No issues with the track pad other than the dumb middle mouse button past.
