I've been running Linux on Dell XPS laptops with only very minor issues since 2016. Currently on an XPS 13 9310, everything works perfectly.
...and that's with debian sid, a btrfs rootfs, and rebooting into whatever "git pull" in the kernel git repo gives me most weeks. I do that because I want to help fix bugs, but I honestly haven't found anything to fix in years: it just works.
Interesting that everybody with problems in this thread seems to be using thinkpads. Maybe they aren't what they used to be?
- davidw 4y agoI've been using Dell hardware with Ubuntu for... sheez almost 15 years now? Once in a while there's some little oddity, but it mostly just shows up working out of the box and lets me do what I need to without all the annoying MacOS crap. I had to use a Mac at my last job and I absolutely hated it. I couldn't configure it the way I wanted. Stuff like 'brew' is a necessity, but not a core part of the system like apt. Keys are not where I expect them... which isn't really their fault, but when you've been using something for 20+ years, switching suuuuucks.
