  I'm a little gun-shy of getting another Dell after two bad machines in a row (two separate models with swollen batteries < 3 years old), but I'll admit the 14 looks nice now that they've brought back the physical function keys!

  I'm waiting to see some other reviews of the Omarchy and Dell XPS combo on battery life. DHH has overhyped some things in the past - he posted a screenshot on X last week showing ~40 hours battery life remaining on the Dell. But it's so good to see the Windows side catching up to Macs now. So tempted to try out Omarchy on the XPS.

    What's so special about Omarchy? It's reskinned arch with a bunch of extra junk installed.

      nothing special - just seems like an easy way to try out Linux for someone that hasn't tried it before
