Since they are providing installation instructions on their website, does this mean they will also do phone / email support for Linux related installation issues?

"Note: If you install an operating system other than the one that shipped with your system, then you do so at your own risk. Dell can't certify that the hardware will be compatible and we may not be able to support the system in that configuration."

Dell has computers that they sell with Ubuntu on them already: http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/555/campaigns/xps-linux-lapt...

I just bought refurbished XPS 13 with Windows because I wanted to save some money. Ubuntu wont work out of the box. There are whole bunch of issues that I'm still trying to resolve. So even if hardware is compatible, you may have hard time. I think it will take some time, because everything gets smooth. (afaik, hardware wise just wifi card is different)

try using a newer kernel, fixed a lot of issues for my xps13 (not the latest revision).

Thanks. There seems to be another issue of broadcom wifi being active when suspending hence draining all the battery. Have to figure workaround for that as well.
