.... Very happy with it. UEFI boot from flash drive works out of the box. For install I needed to change the drive settings in the BIOS from the default of RAID (what ever that means on a laptop) to AHCI. No need to turn off secure boot. If you want to use a DisplayLink USB display adaptor like the D3100 (commonly sold with this laptop), you might want to checkout https://github.com/displaylink-rpm. This will require either you to turn off secure boot or to sign the displaylink modules after they are installed. Signing is not that hard, but is a extra step that you have to look after. Cheers, Kal

Hello there, I've just got a Dell XPS 15 (9590) at work and need to set up a stable GNU/Linux system on it. I thought of CentOS7, but.. obviously its kernel can't run on this hardware. What would you recommend? Waiting for CentOS8 is not an option unless it's a question of few weeks. Are there respins of the CentOS7 DVDs w/ more top-recent kernels? I'm know of Fedora 26 or
