I have a Dell XPS 13 (9360) with Fedora 26 installed. 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

I would go with Fedora or OpenSUSE latest if you want RH like on that hardware. There is nothing that unstable about them other than losing updates and maintenance after 2 years and having to upgrade. Another choice is to run Virtualbox on the Windows that shipped with the laptop and run a CentOS 7 virtual guest. If you REALLY need RHEL (CentOS) running on the hardware I would return the XPS and
