I tried the 13' laptop but after getting used to the extra space around arrow keys on Macbook's for a decade, the tight configuration of keys on the 13 which have PGUP/PGDOWN adjacent to the up/left/right keys ended up annoying the shit out of me.

I ended up going with a 15' XPS and installing Ubuntu. The annoying part was the wifi card which sometimes Ubuntu would stop finding, so I'd have to re-install the drivers. For simplicity sake, I didn't bother having hybrid graphics since the only time I really needed the video card was simulations or computer gaming (which I did with booting in Windows).

I had a 15 XPS (Skylake version?) a few years ago with Ubuntu - I just ended up buying an Intel Wifi card for $25 and replacing the oem one. The nice thing about that XPS was it was user serviceable.
