It's funny to read this after just arriving home with my XPS 15 9500 suspended in my backpack. I got it last week and installed Manjaro right away, and everything worked very well out of the box. The fans keep going on full throttle even with a relatively idle desktop. The cores were constantly reaching 100°C while initializing a heavy dev environment. The laptop's physical design is attractive, but abysmal. The main ventilation hole is located under the hinges, facing behind the laptop. Opening the lid will completely block this airway with a vertical wall 4 mm away. The venting grill at the bottom is lifted only a millimeter away from the table. Lifting the laptop off the table makes the fans sound way louder while lowering down in pitch - I think this is a clear sign of restricted airflow. You really shouldn't pack this much beefy hardware in a package almost as flat as a damn biscuit.
