I’m going with this Dell and returning my Lenovo Slim 7 Pro. In my previous thread saying I switched to Windows I read that Dells offer great compatibility. I ordered this Dell XPS 13 and plan on going with Pop OS. Thoughts on this? Good choice?

Edit: Apparently it’s certified with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I assume I should go with This particular Ubuntu version then?

    Out of curiosity, why not go for something that supports Linux out of the box? Why stock to mainstream?

        Ubuntu LTS in general ships with very out-dated software. Many software are lacking in many useful features.

        Although most of this can be mitigated with virtual environment of your programming language of choice, or flatpak/snap/appimage. There are several, like libreoffice, latex, and DE, are not so easy to fix.

        I am not convinced LTS is a good environment for most users.
