I have the XPS 13 9350 (dmidecode c&p). The only issue is the BCM4350 Wifi card, and its a biggie. Do not buy the BCM, get the Intel Wifi card fitted. Or replace it yourself with this one: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Generation-Wireless-Computer-No..., they cost about $15.

I also had suspend/resume issues occasionally, a recent bios upgrade fixed that, I think.

Apart from the original WiFi, I'm very happy with the XPS 13.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone had luck with a (preferably intel) 3x3 wifi adaptor? I want one for a desktop. The linked one is 2x2, and amazon has a m.2->pcie wifi adaptor for $17.

I have a 3x3 broadcom now, but it occasionally disassociates with the access point (and the box suffers from undiagnosed kernel hangs whether I plug an nvidia or amd video card into it...)

Linux Intel support is the best of all vendors, as far as I can tell. They have dedicated Linux driver devs and their specs are open. The quality of their drivers reflects this. In future I'll walk wide circles around anything broadcom.

Qualcomm Atheros also has dedicated devs for their Linux driver. Broadcomm stopped making wireless cards for the PC market earlier this year.

It looks like this may be a winner: AEX-QCA9880-NX

Except maybe they explicitly removed linux support:

I can't find a hardware rev number on on the amazon page (was 1.0 ever sold to the public?). Also, the amazon page says it is for engineering samples only / contact vendor before ordering. Hmm.

According to Intel, installing Intel wifi adapters in computers or laptops "may be illegal":

I'll probably buy one anyway.

They actually make an XPS 13 Developer Edition preloaded with Ubuntu.

Oh, and we've moved the XPS 13 Developer Edition to be in the same place as the Windows version. One side affect is that this (well, the internal details of how that's done in our catalog) makes it easier for us to change up the Dev Ed config options. You can use the OS filter drop-down just above the config carousel to narrow down to only the Ubuntu configs.

That's the URL for one of the older versions. In general dell.com/sputnik (same as dell.com/developers) will get you to the current systems.

I have an XPS 13 (9360) - the Kaby Lake Developer Edition.

With Ubuntu 16.04 (or more specifically kernel < 4.8) the only issue I had was dynamically adding a Thunderbolt 3 (to DP) monitor.

With Fedora 25, Ubuntu 16.10? No issues.

Wifi is great. Sound. Performance. Display (I have the QHD version).

Got the previous generation (9333) running Ubuntu 16.04, no troubles.
