My refurbished Dell XPS 15Z worked fine with Ubuntu however I do have to memorize a few commands for restarting the mouse driver, the network manager and the wifi. Which is fine to a point. At least I don't have to reboot when the mouse stops responding or when I cannot get online. However, if I used the Windows 7 I doubt I would have to do such things. In my recent experience I think the complaints about driver issues are fairly historical. There is also a hardware compatibility list thing on an Ubuntu somewhere that someone could theoretically check in advance. However, by the time you get to search and get to that list you are likely to be typing something like 'nvidia bumblebee dell xps 15z' into the Bing! search engine.
