Where are these Linux XPS’s on Dell’s website? Windows is the only option for 13 and 15 inch XPS. If I search Linux I only see an XPS desktop and some junk.
How’s the track pad? Track pad and MacOS is still far ahead of the competition. Despite all the backlash Apple gets for TouchBar and Catalina it’s still miles ahead of the competition.

Note that you need to choose "For Work" in order to get the option for the Developer Edition with Ubuntu.
- wil421 7y agoThey still show Windows 10 in all configurations. I’m checking from iPhone on safari, I’ll check with my laptop when I get home. Thanks.
- sam_lowry_ 7y agoThey do not offer Linux laptops in many countries. I am from Belgium and they never had Linux as an option.
- svl 7y agoGoing to dell.be, products, laptops, for work, there's a filter for OS: Ubuntu that shows 12 results.
- sam_lowry_ 7y agoThese 12 results are not good. When they start offering 5-series or 7-series with Linux support, we may consider them.
- nottorp 7y agoThe Linux laptops aren't available everywhere outside the US sadly.
- MegaDeKay 7y agoThey are available in Canada, for one... https://www.dell.com/en-ca/work/shop/laptops-ultrabooks/sr/laptops/xps-laptops/ubuntu https://www.dell.com/en-ca/work/shop/laptops-ultrabooks/sr/l...
- blaser-waffle 7y agoThere is? There is an Ubuntu button on the bottom right but using it to filter laptops doesn't bring anything up for me. Other filter options work fine; I'm in Alberta.
- MegaDeKay 7y agoDoes this work for you, for example? https://www.dell.com/en-ca/work/shop/laptops-ultrabooks/xps-13-7390-developer-edition/spd/xps-13-7390-laptop/cax13w10p1c607buca https://www.dell.com/en-ca/work/shop/laptops-ultrabooks/xps-... Under tech specs, it will say "Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04, Linux - Included in price".
- nottorp 7y agoYes but shipping from Canada doesnt help me
- enriquto 7y agothey are certainly available in france, where I have bought quite a few
- Lio 7y agoI got mine from the UK site ok.
- Ididntdothis 7y ago“How’s the track pad? Track pad and MacOS is still far ahead of the competition.” This is one of the main reasons I am keeping my MacBook. The trackpad feel and the gestures on the Mac are much better on then MacBook than on either windows or Linux. When I have my windows laptop on my lap to work everything’s feels really fiddly compared to the MacBook.
- llampx 7y agoIt's a matter of configuration and getting used to it. I got used to Windows from Mac OS pretty easily once I switched full time, ymmv.
- infecto 7y agoTrackpads are still bad imo.
- enriquto 7y agoI think this is mostly a personal preference. I am used to trackpad in my Dell laptop under Debian, which it is quite practical. But if I have to just click on a link using a MacBook, the experience is so infuriating that my colleague fears for the physical integrity of his computer...
