I’ve had good luck with just-released Dell XPS13 with Ubuntu preinstalled (the “developer edition”). Everything works out of the box and Ubuntu provides upgrade paths while retaining all drivers and compatibility. No need to wait for a 3-year-old laptop. It is more expensive of course :(
- angulardragon03 4y agoSounds nice! Unfortunately the XPS13 9315 I have (similar to the XPS13 Plus you have) doesn't have webcam support out of the box and has graphical driver glitches (both apparently due to missing driver support from Intel). The OEM 20.04 image does supposedly include these, but if you reinstall you're out of luck it seems.
- loloquwowndueo 4y agoIf you reinstall stock ubuntu you might be out of luck. You can do a preinstalled image backup and reinstall from that if needed, that preserves the drivers and tweaks from the oem image.
- davidw 4y agoI got one of those for work last fall and while Ubuntu works great on it, one hardware choice they made is something I am not a fan of: the "borderless" trackpad. I am always accidentally hitting the thing and generating mouse events that I did not want to and it's pretty annoying. Doesn't have anything to do with the OS, just a bad HW choice they made aiming for some kind of 'clean' look.
