I've had three Dells. Two 15s and a 13. All have worked fantastically with Linux (Ubuntu). I'm using a 13" now. It even hibernates perfectly when I close the lid.
However... All were purchased within a few months of them being released, and all had hardware issues within a few months after that. Got replacements under warranty, and the replacement units would then work flawlessly for years.
(Dead speaker, dead battery, dead wifi chip)
Leaves me wondering if the first few batches of Dells tend to have more manufacturing defects? And it's therefore advisable to wait ~6 months for them to sort these issues out?
Does anyone know if this is a thing, or just bad luck?
