XPS 13

I personally question how much software optimisation can be done to be honest. One of the biggest resource hogs on my machine right now is hilariously Spotify, at a whopping 1.8G of RAM split over 9 processes. Then I've got Discord with 8 processes at 1.7GB. That's 3.5G, or nearly half the RAM gone

I am Tony Stark. btw, its dual boot Dell XPS 13 9310. I use Linux mostly for school work. Gaming is lowky bad.

For developing my own software, my way, it's overall a better

The Dell XPS 13 9350 (2025) laptop has been okay but compared to the (2020) XPS 13 9305 it's a huge downgrade. My biggest complaint is the touchscreen. I've been using it for 6 months and I still get frustrated using it. Terrible design. The 9305 was so easier to use and a more tactile feel and the

Arch, its the only way i could get the drivers on my Dell xps 13 9343. It was a PAIN IN THE ASS TO GET THE DRIVERS

Hooray for their marketing department. /s But we really need implementation. For example, I have Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS installed to my Dell Inc. XPS 13 9310, but LVFS can't retrieve the latest unless Dell publishes it to LVFS. Current LVFS entries: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.dell.ueficfb08d7c.f

few rough edges Thanks for the earnestness here, I find it missing from most responses which have been on the pedantic side (and missing the bigger picture observation). if you have a well supported machine.. you will have a very smooth experience My Dell XPS 13 is very well supported, in fact Dell
