Well, if I have stayed with ubuntu 16.04, there wouldn't been any problem at all. My understanding is that dell ships the OS with some proprietary drivers which were there on 16.04 but they they were missing on the default 18.04 install. Anyway, the driver issue took me a couple of hours to fix which I did only once. It depends on your priorities, it's totally worth for me, instead of having to install xcode and register an account if I want to compile anything.
