I also had to replace the Killer wifi card. After that there was nothing to complain about regarding Linux compatibility. BUT I also had to replace the battery after a year or two (it was swollen to the point that I couldn't close the laptop anymore). And finally the rubbery coating of the case degraded badly and turned into a gooey, sticky mess (apparently a known issue with this kind of material, for those living in tropical weather). So I'm done with Dell for a while.

Yes, my first battery failure had the battery swell up so much that the touch pad didn't work anymore.
