There are multiple versions of the XPS 13 and XPS 15.
Most are Windows based. Only the “Developer Edition” of the XPS13 is sold as Linux compatible and everything on it works with Linux.
Mine lacks a fingerprint reader because Dell couldn’t, at the time, get the OEM to provide decent Linux support. So they just left that out of the build.
The other Windows builds are not sold as Linux compatible so if you go that route you’re not getting any guarantees things will work.
For 15” laptops you have to move to Dell’s Precision line for Linux compatibility rather than the XPS 15.
Seems poor marketing to me. They should have a line where all the models are linux compatible and it would much easier for consumers.
