I made the switch last year and am pretty happy, especially with Ubuntu instead of macOS: https://fman.io/blog/home-and-hotel/

I have this in my startup scripts to get rid of the hissing sound with headphones:

    #this gets rid of the hissing on XPS 13
    amixer -c PCH cset 'name=Headphone Mic Boost Volume' 1

I'll try it. Thanks!

Do you have experience with the XPS with linux and bluetooth? Also with external monitors?

I love my mid-2012 MBP, I hope it lasts forever but like many I'm weighing my options.

I use the XPS13 with pre-installed Ubuntu. All of the above work great. I usually use it plugged into an external 4k monitor.
