Well after spending all afternoon with this new Dell XPS 13 9315 I absolutely love it. The fit and finish feels exactly like a Macbook Air.

I have Linux installed (Pop_OS) and the only two issues I had were getting the webcam running and the fingerprint reader. I managed getting both of them up and now the hardware is 100% operable! I am so happy I kept giving Linux a go and found a great laptop with few compatibility issues.

Thanks to all of you who recommended Dell laptops. There were a couple minor problems, but both were solvable with a bit of ddg searching.

    Honestly, this is a great sequence of posts, and precisely the sort of community interaction that I love to see.

    Glad to hear you settled on a S76 eventually, too - I love that enthusiast/developer-tier Linux-focused laptops are becoming more of a thing, and that they’re moreover often from much smaller, independent companies instead of the IT giants.
